About Nebraska Wine Country

Nebraska wine is built on prairie grit and the right grapes. University of Minnesota hybrids like Marquette, Frontenac, and La Crescent provide the foundation for a wine industry growing rapidly in a climate previously considered too extreme.

Nebraska wine tourism is genuine but requires appreciation for hospitality over wine quality. The Missouri River bluffs east of Lincoln and Omaha have the most concentrated wine tourism.

Nebraska wine is Great Plains honest. No pretense, no hype. Just grapes growing in the wind.
