The rolling hills of Nebraska have become renowned as one of the best places in the country for growing grapes that will eventually be turned into wine. This winery in the countryside offers unforgettable wines, incredible views, and even a hiking trail that will encourage you to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
If there’s one thing we love almost as much as a great hike, it’s a great glass of wine…or is it the other way around? Either way, you can find both at Junto Winery, located right between Lincoln and Seward.

The trail follows a meandering 3-mile loop across the winery’s land. Careful not to trip over your feet as you enjoy the beautiful Garland Hills views.

The trail is the location of 5K events throughout the year, but you can visit for free anytime you feel like wandering this one-of-a-kind trail. It’s open every day of the year from sunrise to sunset.

The vineyard sits on the site of what was once the edge of a massive glacier. The land’s unique history has made it ideal for growing wine grapes to be turned into delicious Nebraska wine. That’s what Junto has been doing since 2014.

You can visit the tasting room on weekends. When the weather is nice, head for the outdoor seating to soak up the views while you sip a glass or two of vino.

The wine, paired with the musical sounds of the trickling waterfall, will help rejuvenate your tired muscles after your walk or jog on the trail. In addition to wine, the tasting room offers meat and cheese trays and pretzels with dip.
