When people think of wine country, they often think of California, but Nebraska wineries actually grow some really amazing grapes and produce some award-winning wines. Here’s a winery that not only produces incredible wines, but is also situated on the most beautiful vineyard.
Soaring Wings Vineyard has been owned and operated by the Shaw family since 2001, when they planted the first grapevines. They opened their doors in 2004 and have been offering great wines ever since.
You'll find Soaring Wings Vineyard at 17111 S 138th St, Springfield.
The vineyard here produces several varieties of grapes.
70% of the grapes used in the wine produced here are grown right onsite; the other 30% are purchased from other nearby Nebraska vineyards.
Soaring Wings produces 20 varieties of wine.
From dry to sweet, you'll certainly find something to tempt your palate. The vineyard has garnered more than 200 awards over the years.
Visit the winery for a tasting.
The winery is open Wednesday through Saturday from Noon to 6 PM; Sunday from Noon to 5 PM. Tastings include a flight of five different wines and a souvenir glass for just $6.
Or, enjoy your wine on the patio.
Wine by the glass is just $5, or you can purchase a bottle. Enjoy some cheese, crackers, bread, chocolate or other snacks, too. You can even pack your own picnic to enjoy here if you'd like.
The view from the patio is stunning.
You'll enjoy some gorgeous vistas here. The patio overlooks the vineyard, and you'll love this rural scenery.
In 2011, the vineyard also began brewing beer.
Now it offers nine different brews.
In the summer, you'll definitely want to plan on attending some outdoor concerts.
Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and enjoy some live music every Friday evening from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. There's just a $5 cover charge.
The vineyard also hosts an annual Italian Dinner.
The three-course meal has a wine pairing for every course, and is one of the highlights of the year. This year's Italian Dinner will be held on April 7th from 7 PM to 9:30 PM and costs $30 per person. Call 402-253-2479 to make your reservation.
Another popular event is the annual Wine, Blues, Beer & Hot Air Balloon Festival.
This year's event takes place on June 7th, and you don't want to miss it.
