Services & Process

The wine tasting room lets visitors sample a selection of locally produced wines, making it easy to pair a tasting with the rest of your visit to the orchard. The bakery side of the operation means you can pick up fresh-baked goods made with seasonal fruit alongside your wine selection. Fruits and vegetables from the property are available for purchase, with the offerings shifting throughout the growing season from spring strawberries to fall apples and pumpkins. It's an ideal stop for families or groups who want a full farm experience rather than just a standard winery visit.

Service Area

Kimmel Orchard & Vineyard primarily serves Nebraska City and surrounding Otoe County communities, along with visitors passing through on Highway 2 or making the trip from Omaha, roughly 60 miles to the north. It's also a natural stop for travelers coming from Kansas City who are exploring the Missouri River valley.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect to find in the farm stand at Kimmel?
The farm stand carries seasonal fruits and vegetables grown on the property, with availability shifting throughout the year. Spring and summer bring berries and garden produce, while fall is peak season for apples, pumpkins, and other harvest staples.
Does Kimmel have a wine tasting fee?
Tasting fees vary and may be waived with a wine purchase, which is common at many Nebraska tasting rooms. It's worth calling (402) 873-5293 ahead of your visit to confirm current pricing.
Is Kimmel Orchard a good destination for families with children?
Yes, the combination of orchard, bakery, and farm stand gives families plenty to do beyond the wine tasting room. Kids generally enjoy exploring the property and picking out fresh produce or baked treats.
When is the best time of year to visit Kimmel?
Fall is typically the busiest and most rewarding time to visit, when apples are at peak harvest and the orchard atmosphere is at its most lively. That said, spring and summer visits offer their own fresh produce and a less crowded experience.
Can I visit just the tasting room without purchasing orchard items?
Absolutely. The wine tasting room operates independently of the farm stand, so you can stop in just for a tasting if that's your preference. Many visitors do both, but there's no obligation to purchase produce.
Are Kimmel's wines made from grapes grown on the property?
Kimmel produces wines using locally sourced grapes, with some estate fruit from the vineyard on the property. Staff in the tasting room can tell you more about the sourcing and production behind specific bottles.
