About the Treasure Coast Wine & Ale Trail:

The trail launched in March 2017 is an organized and collaborative partnership between the tourism marketing offices of St. Lucie, Indian River and Martin County as well as the local breweries, distilleries, the meadery, the winery and the cidery to attract more visitors to the area. The creation of the trail has allowed the Treasure Coast tourism agencies to join the likes of larger Florida destinations that actively market their brew and/or ale trails.
