Nebraska's vineyards produce some truly terrific wines that have earned a solid place on the national and international scene. Slattery Vintage Estates, located 25 miles west of Nehawka in rural Cass County, produces some of those award-winning wines. They also offer a unique experience that will have you packing your bags ASAP.

Slattery Vintage Estates has gotten plenty of well-deserved praise for its incredibly beautiful location, delicious wines, and altogether unique experience.

In the lovely tasting room, you can sample wines and beers from Nebraska and beyond.

You'll find terrific food as well, which pairs beautifully with the adult beverages on offer. From simple but elegant meat and cheese plates...

...to wood-fired pizzas (offered on select nights only during the summer), there's something to make your mouth happy.

In warm weather, sitting out on the patio is a special treat. In fact, the entire grounds are beautifully landscaped.

This is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and let the rest of the world just fall away for a while. It's a popular spot for proposals, weddings, and other special events.

The summer concert series brings local acts to the vineyard, adding some excitement and entertainment to your time at SVE.

When the day is winding down and you're sleepy from all of that wine, beautiful accommodations are just steps away.

Slattery Vintage Estates offers a handful of bungalows that you can rent for an evening. Guests have to be at least 21, so you can be sure you'll have a peaceful, adults-only stay.

Inside, elegant antique furnishings set the scene for a romantic experience. Don't worry about being uncomfortable in the tents; fans and heaters help keep the temperatures pleasant inside.

You have to book the bungalows in advance, but it's definitely worth planning ahead. While you can't bring in outside alcohol, you can take a bottle or two of wine back to the tent from the tasting room.

If you're looking for more of a family or friends getaway, you can book the party house which sleeps up to 12.

Can you imagine waking up to this view? This is an experience you'll never forget.

Take another little stroll around the grounds before checking out in the morning. Enjoy the sights and revel in the peaceful surroundings before you head back to the real world.

Slattery Vintage Estates only takes bookings for accommodations from May 1st to November 1st every year. Be sure to plan well in advance because this is a popular retreat with locals and tourists alike.

Many of the services and events at Slattery Vintage Estates are seasonal, so check the vineyard's website or Facebook page for dates, directions, and more information.
