Junto Wine - Seward
Junto Wine is a favorite. Not just because of its nearness but also because of the staff and location. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. The setting is in a natural environment with a small forest right outside the door. A trail takes you all over the property. The outside seating takes advantage of the especially attractive natural setting.
It can get pretty busy at times. Interestingly, I was wandering around and found a family enjoying themselves on a platform. What's interesting is that we have just about finished remodeling our home in Seward and Cindy was looking for someone to clean up afterward.
And here I came across one of the owners of Dial-A-Shine in Lincoln. It's crazy how many people we've met with some kind of possible connection, in our travels around the state for the Nebraska Passport.
Inside are a lot of tables and more visually appealing decor. The books on the wall are real and lend themselves to the name of this location, Junto Wine. Junto is a word related to Benjamin Franklin, when he made his private book collection available to others. The meaning is approximately 'a gathering of people with similar interests'. At Junto, that amounts to a friendly atmosphere, good friends and excellent wine.
This winery is a very special place for me. After we moved to Seward about 6 years ago, Frank took me to Junto. I had never been there before. We were immediately greeted by smiling faces. The servers were very helpful explaining the types of wine that I might want to sample. There is plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. And of course, they have WONDERFUL WINES. We have been there many times over the years. The most recent was on Mother's Day. We sat outside (it was a beautiful day) with a glass of wine for me and Frank had a glass of Peach Sangria, which surprised me since his favorite drink is Mountain Dew. We had a relaxing date and enjoyed visiting with people at other tables. While you're here, walk around and admire the setting.
