A Designated Driver Program

Shawnee Hills, southern Illinois - The five members of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail have recently partnered with the Illinois Department of Transportation - Division of Traffic Safety, the Pepsi Cola Company - Marion, and the Jackson County Health Department to formulate the Designated Driver Program for the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail wineries would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that they may sample wines on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, but to do so responsibly.

The five wineries of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail are offering free sodas, donated by the Pepsi Cola Company, to designated drivers on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Ask for a button at any of the wineries to identify yourself to other patrons and the employees of other wineries that you are the designated driver for your group. This qualifies you for a free soda at each winery.

The Designated Driver: can save lives, can still take in the beauty of the surroundings, smell the grapes, laugh and enjoy a free soda or bottle of water, can save something priceless… a friend's life! The Shawnee Hills Wine Trail: Good Wines, Good Times. Please plan ahead. Take your turn, be a designated driver.
