Silver Hills Vineyard and Winery
|
|
Silver Hills is a diversified farming operation in Burt County, Nebraska. We currently raise corn, soybeans, cattle, and wine grapes. Our main emphasis is the establishment of the vineyard which began in the Spring of 2000. We are currently at 3 acres and plan on adding varieties that are a good fit as they become available. Our goal is the establishment of a winery that uses 100% Nebraska-grown or estate-grown fruit. As of 2003, we have built a small winery building and have made six different styles of wine. We are looking forward to 2005 as a break-through year for getting the bonding to open as early as the spring of 2006.
