Welcome to The From Nebraska Gift Shop and the James Arthur Vineyards Tasting Room! Located in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket, our From Nebraska Gift Shop is the prime location for customers looking for the best gourmet Nebraska food baskets, gifts and souvenirs. Our tasting room also features wine from Nebraska's largest and most awarded winery James Arthur Vineyards.
Jim Ballard had a hunch. The many customers of James Arthur Vineyards are glad he followed it. Jim thought his father-in-law's farmland, situated north of Lincoln, Nebraska, was fertile ground for growing grapes. With his father-in-law's blessing, Jim planted several grapevines with the hope that his hobby would someday produce fine homemade wine, and something to share with family and friends.
James Arthur Vineyards is now in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket. We've set up a tasting room in our From Nebraska Shop located in the Huber Building at 8th and "Q". Along with JAV wines, our tasting room features special events including live music during the summer and before Husker home games, trivia nights, and much more!
This 2.5 hour tour includes 4 Location stops situated in the Haymarket of downtown Lincoln Nebraska. At each stop, guests will get a drink provided by the establishment visited on the tour, a historical overview of the prohibition in the state of Nebraska, historical overview of the Haymarket, and an educational overview of the some.

I ordered a gift basket for a new staff person late last Friday afternoon and was told that it would be delivered Monday. Later that evening I received a text from the recipient letting me know that the gift had arrived. Staff from the Nebraska Gift Shop decided to make a special delivery that evening. What great customer service! Thank you. You exceeded my expectations. It's wonderful to live in a community where our local businesses treat their customers so nicely.

I ABSOLUTELY enjoy coming to this shop every time I am in NE! The staff is so friendly and I enjoy the James Arthur wines they have. Anytime I have been in there the lady let's me try a couple samples free of charge which is so nice! Last time I took home two bottles with me. Another fun thing is heir variety of NE goodies. I always grab a few meat rubs, jellies, etc to use for stocking stuffers. They're always a hit with my CA family.

A great place to take out of town guests to give them a tast of Nebraska's finest. They also do wine tastings for James Arthur vineyards. Both times I went I had the sweetest people help with the tasting they were very talkative and it was a great experience. It's $5 to try 6 wines, a really great deal! You don't get to keep the glass though like you do when you go to the actual vineyard.

5 stars for being the only place in Nebraska (besides the airport) that sells souvenir spoons!
Okay - I don't really know if this is the only place, but all the Cracker Barrels, Hallmarks, Walmarts, truck stops, etc. that I went to, did not sell any souvenir spoons - not even University of Nebraska ones.
And this store, nestled into the University of Nebraska campus, sold regular Nebraska spoons - exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you, From Nebraska Gift Shop, for being exactly what I needed! Now if only I could find a spoon from Iowa...

It's a cute store, lots of Huskers fan souvenirs, books from Nebraskan authors, bears, gift baskets like meltaways in a basket shaped like Nebraska, magnets and the likes. But if you go to any other small stores, they sell the same things, and if you want more choices with the Huskers stuff, try the University Bookstore. The wines are okay, nothing to write home about, and honestly, if you're visiting Nebraska, you don't buy wines here to bring home to, if you want wine to drink, there are better wines at Target. The cashier was nice but honestly, it's just okay, it's a
