Beer, Wine, and Shine Trail in North Carolina
What began with four wineries on a driving tour in Johnston County, North Carolina, has become seven stops: two wineries, three breweries and two distilleries. Check out the new Beer, Wine, and Shine Trail.
In May, both Fainting Goat Brewery in Benson and InStill Distillery Company in Clayton opened, bringing the total of craft beverage stops on the trail to seven.
“With the new brewery and another ‘legal’ distillery now available in Johnston County, we wanted to expand the trail with these new experiences and tastings,” stated Donna Bailey-Taylor, President/CEO at the Johnston County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The revised brochure features seven panels of information and photos for each partner, information on itineraries, and hotel packages.”
Visitors along the trail need only receive a stamp on their visit and are not required to purchase products. After collecting four stamps, visitors will receive a bottle koozie from the JCVB, and after visiting all seven stops, visitors may pick one promotional item such as a t-shirt or hat from the venue of their choice.
