Nissen Family Vineyards

88973 Highway 57, Hartington, NE 68739 | 402-254-3426

From its award-winning wines to its spectacular views, Nissen Winery is one you’re sure to enjoy. Located on a National Scenic Byway – The Outlaw Trail – in Northern Cedar County, it is one of Nebraska’s hidden gems. Not only are there great wines to sample, but you can hear stories of the historical and famous outlaws who once lived and roamed the area in the late 1800s. Relax, sip wine and read old newspaper articles that tell stories of the outlaws from Doc Middleton, to Jesse James, and learn of the lifestyle of the corrupt and famous outlaws who called Nebraska home. The white wines range from a sweet, soft, smooth wine called St. Pepin, to a crisp, refreshing, fruit-forward dry named Reserve White. Sweet reds, such as Jesse James, a very popular one that touts Bing cherry overtones, is one of several sweet reds and blushes you’ll want to sample before choosing your favorite. The dry reds include Reserve Red, made from Frontenac grapes and aged in French oak, as well as Sam Bass.
