James Arthur Vineyards
Established in 1996, James Arthur Vineyards is nestled amidst 400 acres of rolling hills and natural prairie grasslands just minutes north of Lincoln, near Raymond, NE. The surrounding beauty creates a picturesque setting for our winery, which houses an immaculate tasting room, a gift shop, a stunning party room, and all the production facilities. Since opening its front doors, JAV has hosted thousands of visitors from all over the world. Everyone is encouraged to sample from a wide variety of wines, stroll the grounds, sit under the covered deck by the waterfall, or enjoy an intimate setting by a warm, crackling fire in the tasting room during those cold winter days, all while sipping some of Nebraska's finest. Our family's 3rd generation has now become involved in the winery, making JAV a true family endeavor. Built on passion, dedication, and old-fashioned hard work, JAV has built a business Nebraskans can be proud of. After all, this is our home, love, and livelihood. From our family to yours! Crushing it for 25+ years!

Niobrara Valley Vineyards
Our vineyards are nestled in the scenic Niobrara River Valley on a working cattle ranch in the Sandhills near Nenzel, NE. The vineyard began in 2002 with just four varieties of grapes and 200 plants to see if they would grow here. The Sandhills are known for producing some of the best beef in the world, but what about grapes? We have found that the Sandhills can also produce great tasting, handcrafted and award-winning wines. The hot days and cool nights of our summers, the soils and the variable weather conditions, all come together to bring out the complex fruity flavors that have people exclaiming they are ‘PLEASANTLY SURPRISED’ to find such amazing wines in the Sandhills! Our wines can be found in several retail locations throughout Nebraska, with a list of locations available on our website. We invite you to visit our tasting room and experience ‘A TASTE OF THE SANDHILLS’ for yourself. We love visiting with people and sharing our story. We are open May 1 through September 30, Wednesday through Sunday from 2-7 pm MST, and any other time throughout the year by appointment.

Nissen Wines
From its award-winning wines to its spectacular views, Nissen Winery is one you are sure to enjoy. Located on a National Scenic Byway on The Outlaw Trail in Northern Cedar County, it is one of Nebraskaís hidden gems. There are great wines to sample, and you can hear stories of the historical and famous outlaws who once lived and roamed the area in the late 1800s. Relax, sip wine, read old newspaper articles that tell stories of outlaws from Doc Middleton to Jesse James, and learn of the lifestyle of the corrupt and famous outlaws who called Nebraska home. The white wines range from a sweet, soft, smooth wine called St. Pepin to a crisp, refreshing, fruit-forward dry named Reserve White. Sweet reds, such as Jesse James, a very popular one that touts Bing cherry overtones, are one of several sweet reds and blushes you want to sample before choosing your favorite. The dry reds include Reserve Red, made from Frontenac grapes and aged in French oak, and Sam Bass, an off-dry wine with great tannins and mouth feel. Please visit our website for hours of operation.

Prairie Creek Vineyards
Prairie Creek Vineyards was established in 2003, with the winery and tasting room following in 2007. Since that time, the vineyard has grown to a little under 15 acres, and the tasting room has morphed into a restaurant and world of its own. While the production facility and vineyards are located on our original site in rural Merrick County, Prairie Creek’s tasting room is conveniently located right on Highway 30 in downtown Central City! You won’t miss the giant wine bottle hanging off the side of the building. While you’re joining us to experience the wine list with a rotating number of choices, feel free to stay for an appetizer and supper! We’re open Tuesday through Friday, 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and on Saturday, the tasting room opens at 1:00 pm, so you can have a little extra wine time. We have some amazing wineries out this way, and supper at our place is a great way to top off a day of tasting. Come join us!
