Nebraska wineries join together to host the 2022 TOAST Nebraska Wine Festival, the largest gathering of wineries in the state.

(OMAHA, NE) – The Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association (NWGGA) is excited to launch ticket sales for their annual wine festival, TOAST Nebraska, the largest gathering of wineries in the state.

Consisting of 17 participating wineries for the 2022 festival, the event is one of a kind in that the wineries themselves host the event through the statewide association (NWGGA). The festival is a fantastic chance to experience a wide variety of offerings from wineries located across the state, all in one location at Stinson Park in Omaha's Aksarben Village.

The event reached record attendance in May of 2021 with over 3,000 attendees from over 22 states, and the wineries expect even more excitement surrounding the 2022 event. Along with the participating wineries, attendees can expect products and offerings from over 34 local artisan and food vendors, live music and bands, and free activities including charcuterie classes, wine education seminars, and the crowd-favorite, wine bingo.

The event is an excellent opportunity to stock up on your Nebraska wine favorites or discover a new preference. Attendees can purchase multiple bottles of wine to replenish - or start - their very own Nebraska wine cellar at home. The event staff even hosts a wine check, similar to a coat check, so purchasers needn't worry about bearing the weight of all their new purchases. Attendees can also purchase bottles for consumption on-site, with many sharing a bottle with friends while enjoying the live music on the lawn in front of the Bradford Bowl stage or playing a few relaxing games of wine bingo in the picnic area.

The event is hosted over two days at Stinson Park, kicking off on Friday, May 13, with doors opening at 4:00 p.m. and the event ending at 9:00 p.m. The fun continues on Saturday, May 14 at 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

Tickets are $35 for Friday tickets and $45 for Saturday tickets. Admission includes a wine tasting glass, unlimited wine tastings, a wine tote, access to vendors, live music and bands, and free activities such as charcuterie classes and wine bingo. Two-day tickets, as well as designated driver tickets, are also available. Tickets increase by $20 on May 6 until the event ends. All attendees must be 21 years of age or older to attend - no infants, children, or pets.
