Stepping up to the tasting bar

The tasting room and outside veranda here are an ideal way to while away a few hours on a sunny afternoon.  From either inside or outdoors, you'll take in a panoramic view of the surrounding valley.  You can buy Soaring Wings wine by the glass, partnered with Nebraska made cheese, sausage, and other delicacies.  Local art adorns the walls, and Soaring Wings hosts live music acts on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons.

Stepping up to the tasting bar, we were delighted to see so many varied styles to sample.  Soaring Wings wines have won almost 150 medals in international competitions, so chances are anything you select will please your palate.  Our favorite was a slightly dry red, the Special Reserve St. Croix.  Made with grapes that thrive in eastern Nebraska's river valley, this wine is rich and satisfying, with a dark fruit bouquet.
