Brownville is one of Nebraska’s most atmospheric river towns, and Whiskey Run Creek is its winery crown jewel. This is the winery that crafted Nebraska’s first Riesling, and the trophy case includes 97 points and Best of Show Rosé at the International Eastern Wine Competition — serious credentials.
The grounds are half the experience: a 100-year-old barn spanning a creek, and a turn-of-the-century brick cave once used as a Prohibition speakeasy. Wine tasting in a former speakeasy is the kind of detail you can’t manufacture.
Brownville’s historic riverfront makes a full day of it — the winery, the Lyceum, the river views. One of southeast Nebraska’s essential stops.
