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. But why just drink wine when you can also fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty that made it come to fruition? (Now that's our idea of a good time!) Junto Wine in Nebraska is tucked into the countryside and offers unforgettable wines, incredible views, and even a scenic hiking trail that will encourage you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The next time you're craving a little wine and hike time, check out the Junto Wine 5K Trail.
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 Wine, located right between Lincoln and Seward.
The next time you're in the mood for a little fresh air followed by a little (or a lot of) wine, Junto Wine's 5K trail is just what you're after.
The trail follows a meandering three-mile loop across the winery's land. Careful not to trip over your feet as you enjoy the beautiful Garland Hills views!
The best hikes in Nebraska offer solitude, rolling views, and plenty of wildlife to keep you company. This wine trail is no exception!
The trail is the location of various 5K events throughout the year, but you can visit for free anytime you feel like wandering this one-of-a-kind trail. It's typically open every day of the year from sunrise to sunset.
This gorgeous Nebraska winery 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'll definitely want to check out the tasting room on a sunny weekend. 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.
This scenic destination is also the perfect destination for weddings and other special events. Can you imagine a lovelier place to host your nuptials?
The beauty of this local winery is unreal, and this short and sweet trail is the perfect way to experience it all!
The 5K Trail at Junto Wine in Nebraska is open every day of the year, and there is no fee to visit. The tasting room is typically open Friday-Sunday. Check out the official winery website for more information, as well as dates and details about upcoming events - some of them even feature live music and food trucks! Give it a follow on Facebook, too.
With or without wine, the Husker State is beautiful place to explore on foot! Add some of the best trails in Nebraska to your itinerary to create a magical weekend experience, or kick back and relax to enjoy all that beauty lit up with a magical sunset from this homey cottage in Omaha.
