Slattery Vintage Estates is one of the places listed on my Nebraska Passport. I have heard about this place from a few of my friends, so last Saturday I decided to take a little trip and see what this attraction has to offer. This is a winery and as a girl that enjoys wine, I knew I would like this place with all my heart.
The estates are nestled out in the country by Wheeping Water, just a short drive east of Lincoln. One thing I liked is how green the country fields and trees were in the surrounding area. The scenery was everything I enjoy about a day out in the country.
I enjoyed 6 different wines during my tastings and then had myself one full glass of wine. My favorite was the Kid Wade wine from the Outlaw Trail Series. All the wines are made right here in Nebraska, so I feel like I am tasting the goodness of home!
The best part about this winery is the food. I had crackers, salmon and cheese for an appetizer and on some nights like the Saturday night I went they make woodfired grilled pizza. They had 3 different options for a pizza, I had had “The Barbie” which is named after the owner Barb. If you like Chicken Alfredo, then you will love “The Barbie.” The pizza is a great size, It could serve 2-3 people, depending upon how much one person chooses to eat.
This is one place that I would love to go back, especially if I were to have a boyfriend or husband. They have 4 of these cute bungalows that people can rent and stay in for the night. Each bungalow has a different look on the inside, but a fairly similar. These bungalows are a cross between a tent and a cabin. The only drawback I foresee, is that it was really hot the night I went, so I don’t know how I would feel about sleeping outside when it is super hot, I feel like possbily May or September would be better months to stay in the bungalows.
Overall, I highly recommend this place, the whole entire place is gorgeous, the food is great and the staff is exceptionally friendly. My server was Caitlin and the other staff members there were very friendly and persistant at asking me if I needed anything or if they could help me with anything.
I give this place two thumbs up and recommend everyone make this place a priority to visit in the near future.
