Front Porch is the winery as rural weekend: a boutique vineyard on a 32-acre lake southeast of Beatrice, with 2.5 acres of vines, a covered pavilion, and a bar built in a grain bin overlooking the water. Tastings run Saturday and Sunday afternoons — and you can fish the lake while you’re there.
The two on-site Airbnbs make it a genuine getaway, not just a tasting stop. Weddings love the setting; everyone else loves the pace. It’s owned by folks who understand that the wine is half the reason people come — the lake, the quiet, and the sky are the other half.
An hour from Lincoln, ninety minutes from Omaha — the definition of a worthwhile drive.
