Nebraska Wineries
Nebraska is a relative newcomer to the winemaking scene with Nebraska's oldest existing winery established in 1994. Nebraska's severe weather makes native American varieties and French-American hybrids the grapes of choice, but several wineries also produce quality Vitis vinifera varietals. Approximately half of Nebraska's wineries are clustered in the eastern part of the state near Omaha and Lincoln.
