Taste the Excellence

Tucked into the rolling hills of northern Cedar County, Nebraska, lies Nissen Family Vineyards - a family-owned and family-operated vineyard and winery located on Nebraska’s Outlaw Trail National Scenic Byway.

We've been producing fine Nebraska wines on our 400-acre farm since 2003, and we invite you stop by and taste the excellence.

Wines & Vines

A great wine begins with the skillful coupling of soil and vine. 

Our varieties pair with northeast Nebraska's warm, sunny days and cool nights, to produce superior fruits that result in robust and intensely flavored wines.

Our wines range from a sweet, soft, and smooth white, to a dry red crafted from Frontenac grapes and aged in French oak. 

You’ll want to sample them all before you choose your favorite.

Nebraska History Was Never So Delicious

Looking for some Nebraska-themed adventure?

 Our winery and vineyard are located right along the Outlaw Trail Scenic Byway, so it’s fitting that we have an entire series of wines dedicated to the famous 1880’s outlaws who once roamed the area!  

Enjoy a scenic drive, then relax with a glass of Jesse James, or another Outlaw Trail selection, as you enjoy old newspaper articles and hear harrowing stories of the famous outlaws who called Nebraska home. 

Then, if you have more time, head a few miles north and enjoy some outdoor recreation at the beautiful Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area.
