GOVERNOR PETE RICKETTS PROCLAIMS THE MONTH OF MAY 2022 AS NEBRASKA WINERY MONTH

(MILFORD, NE) Governor Pete Ricketts has proclaimed the month of May 2022, as Nebraska Winery Month in response to a request submitted by the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association. The Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association established Nebraska Winery Month to encourage wine lovers to discover and embrace all that Nebraska Wines have to offer.

This month is a means to promote and develop: the Nebraska wine and grape industry, our members’ interests and activities, industry excellence and quality assurance, and education for our members and the greater community.

Nebraska Winery Month encourages individuals to raise awareness and understanding of the Nebraska Wine industry. The NWGGA is dedicated to leading the industry toward economic viability and sustainability.

Nebraska Winery month inspires wine lovers to explore the association’s 23 member wineries and 9 member tasting rooms through our passport program, and the annual TOAST Nebraska Wine festival.

The Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association hosts the largest gathering of Nebraska wineries in the state at the annual TOAST Nebraska Wine Festival. TOAST Nebraska is a two day celebration of Nebraska Wines. Visit toastwinefest.com to learn more about our annual event.

We would like to thank Governor Pete Ricketts for joining the efforts to urge all citizens to increase their understanding and awareness of the wine industry, and the many services it provides.
