This was my first ever Sip event and I was super impressed with the entire event set up! From the time you walk in, get your goody bag with complimentary water and a map of the vendors, they make it extremely easy to navigate. The samplings were very generous from all the vendors I tried (about 2/3 of them is all I had time for). Everyone is super friendly and willing to tell you all about their products, or you can simply grab a tasting and come back around later. I appreciated the no pressure approach and laid back vibe to the entire day. The food trucks were an added bonus. Obviously food is a little pricey, but that's to be expected at events like this. Well worth it in my opinion so you can stay and enjoy your day. The live music was perfect throughout the day as well. Overall, another awesome event I was able to attend thanks to Yelp!

Food for purchase: The festival was super enjoyable. The food trucks were amazing and I would have loved to sample everything I could. It did take 20 min to get our pizza and my one complaint is the lack of seating around the food trucks. It seemed everyone was fighting for somewhere to sit and about to throw down to get the next table. The food is of course pricey ($11 burger, $16 personal pizza), but understood. Walking in: parking was easy to access with people directing you to where you needed to go. When you first walk in they check your ID, give you a wristband, a map, a glass, and then you can take however much water you need. It's an affordable festival & instead of trying to charge $5 per water bottle they hand it out. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and care put into this festival. There was a wide array of options from wine, beer, liquor, and food to sample. The lines weren't very long as you could walk from booth to booth right away and the prices of food and drink to take home were affordable. Many had sales going on at the same time. We took the kiddo in but she was obviously bored with nothing to do. Plenty of entertainment and fun to go around without forking out an arm and a leg. This is a great place to bring friends and a blanket so you can buy a bottle and enjoy the entertainment as long as you want. Cannot wait for the fall festival!

A great way to explore the tastes of Nebraska adult beverages. I love seeing the different companies each season. This is my second SIP festival and while I enjoyed the ones that stay true; I did also enjoy the new ones I hadn't heard of before. Great cooperation from nature this year. Loved the friendliness and vibes all around. Lovely event!! All around blast and Nebraska pride.

The variety of Nebraska products was amazing. Of course the emphasis was wine but we also sampled vodka, rum, cider, beer, whiskey, and chocolate. The entertainment was hopping the whole time even during the rain Saturday night. I loved the lawn games scattered throughout the camp. We made a complete date out of it.

This was by far one of the best outdoor festivals I've been to in Omaha yet! The event seemed very well organized and thankfully there were enough (portable) bathrooms (another festival we went to clearly did not have enough so we left earlier than we wanted to). There were far more vendors than I expected and most were super generous with their pours. I loved how there was a mix of wine, beer and spirits because it not only allows a greater variety to those who like all three, but also caters to those who prefer one over the other. The only thing that could have made the event a tinyyy bit better was if the sun were out. But no one can predict/control that and we were simply thankful it wasn't pouring. Definitely planning to come back again next year, rain or shine!

What an awesome festival! The venue is great to house not only wine but beer and other great vendors. The tents are set up in a way where you can try so many local beer and wines without feeling on top of others. I thought there were definitely enough bathrooms and spaces to hang out and relax. The vendors were nice and very informative. Again, the location is great and so many options for those who are driving great distances. Can't wait for the next event with Blur Parties and Sip!!
