Deer Springs Winery

Stopped here on a Wednesday afternoon with my fiancé and dog on our road trip… I am so glad we did!
Being from Long Island we have had our fair share of visits to local wineries and Deer Springs did not disappoint.
We sampled 5 wines (2 reds and 3 whites) while sitting on the patio. All five were yummy. The tasting room itself was pretty and the server was very nice and knowledgable. There was plenty of outdoor seating and the scenery was lovely with a lot of green space. We also had some bread and cheese, which were delicious.
The only reason I am not giving the winery 5 stars is because the wines were a little sweet for my taste. I would definitely recommend stopping by for some tastings!

First of all, if you enjoy wine (even a little bit), I suggest taking a day trip doing tastings at the many wineries around the Lincoln metro. I’ve found that each region of the US has a unique wine culture and Nebraska is no different.
Deer Springs would be a great stop on a day tour. It’s located in a cute little house on a nice green space. There’s a patio and gazebo area for outdoor seating.
I’d recommend a tasting of the wines. They have a variety of reds and whites that range from dry to sweet. Like other Nebraska wineries, they tend toward the sweeter spectrum but that’s our local viniculture (the types of grapes that grow in the region).
I think it’s great to try to local varieties. You can do a tasting, get a glass, or a bottle with a few snacks.
My recommendation is the Gypsy Red. It’s a bold and flavorful red that’s quite drinkable!
Deer Springs isn’t my favorite of the local wineries but it’s a nice place to enjoy an afternoon or a special event.
I miss their sweet, sweet dog who passed away last summer. RIP, buddy.

Deer Springs does a concert series on Saturday nights which led us here to watch Swing Fest. The place is small especially when compared to some of the larger wineries in the area. The grounds were excellent for an intimate outdoor concert. They had a number of picnic tables, a patio with a fire pit, tiki torches, and an outdoor stage. We brought some lawn chairs, ordered a bottle of the Brianna, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and some pretty good Jazz. I am not a wine aficionado so I can’t speak to how good it was though apparently it has won a metal. I am a beer drinker but I enjoyed a couple of glasses. It was a pleasant experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Great atmosphere and great wine tasting prices. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to go back!

I loved this place! We got huge tastings of 5 wines each plus a cheese and fruit tray for $ 16. The lady working the counter was knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is great. We sat inside for awhile in comfy chairs by the fireplace. Then we chatted with other guests outside by the fire pit near the pavilion bedecked with twinkle lights. It was both a romantic and relaxing place to hang out. Plus, the wines were tasty!

This is the second time going here. Always a great experience. They have 15% military discount, Wed-​Sat 1−9pm. They have the wrong hours posted but I told her about it. She was very nice and the wine was great. This Sunday they are having Soup, Dessert and Wine from 1−6pm. Looking forward to going the 3^rd time. If your out and about and wanting to try different winery’s, make sure you stop here!
