Wineries

Crafting a getaway around wine tasting can be fun, whether you are traveling with your sweetie or a group of friends. Choose an area that has several wineries within fifty miles or so, and start planning your itinerary. Most wineries are open to visitation year round, with tasting rooms to help you select your favorite bottles, and shops where you can purchase them.

There are many ways to organize a wine tasting trip, and all should involve Nebraska B&B’s and Unique Lodgings, where you will be housed in comfort and well fed. You can all pile into a car, pick a designated driver, and visit as many wineries as you can fit into one day. Or you can travel by bicycle, visiting fewer wineries but really earning that glass of wine.

Eastern Nebraska is home to most of the state’s wineries, although they are to be found throughout the state. There are about seven wineries in and around Lincoln, and almost ten along the Missouri River. Use one Nebraska Lodge as your home base and take several days to visit all the wineries in that area. Then head west, stay at several Nebraska Bed and Breakfasts or Unique Lodgings over the course of a few days, and visit every winery in the state.
