This Surf-Vibes Vacation Rental Is the Perfect Home Base for Florida’s Best Food and Drink Trail

One of my favorite ways to plan a vacation is by determining what food and drink places are nearby. Usually, the area of travel is already chosen, and then I get to pick restaurants and bars to fill my time there. But what if there was a different approach altogether? What if I planned an actual trip AROUND the food and drinks? [Insert slack-jawed emoji]. In this case, I’ve taken the famed Treasure Coast Wine, Ale & Spirits Trail, filled with wineries, breweries, cideries, and food, and found a perfect accommodation to round out the trip. 

First, let's start with the food and drinks you'll find along this portion of Florida. The Treasure Coast Wine, Ale & Spirits Trail offers a fulfilling journey through Florida’s Treasure Coast, encompassing Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties. This trail is a collaborative effort among local breweries, wineries, and distilleries, aiming to showcase the region's diverse and innovative craft beverage scene. Plus, with many of these drink spots offering on-site food options, it's a win-win all around.

With a digital pass available to trailgoers, you can visit nine breweries, one winery, one cidery, one meadery, and three distilleries throughout your weekend adventure. Just simply download the digital map, and you're on your way!

Now, the most important part - where to sleep? Surely, all of these libations lead to a need for a comfortable place to rest your head.
