Aquaviva Winery Reviews
"Had a great lunch with a tasting and a tour. Made reservations in advance, they were very accommodating. A wedding was rescheduled to the day of our reservation but because it was later in the day we were still able to come. The food and wine were great, Vito was a great host. His help with the tasting was much appreciated and I found a new favorite wine. The tour was short but full of history, I highly recommend doing the tour with Vito. He and his family are great and I look forward to their winery's future endeavors!"
"The wine was delicious. Much to choose from. The host was caring and kind and very attentive. There is some seating outside, overlooking the vines and cornfields. Very peaceful. Will definitely go back!"
Everybody once come here , must fall in love with everything here! Romantic, nature, wonderful taste on the top of tongue! My hubby and I have really enjoyed the food and beautiful view there."
"Great wine, Great service, excellent atmosphere. Picked aquaviva for dinner of proposal night and 6 yrs later makes an excellent anniversary night"
"We had a fantastic time at Acquaviva. How did we not know this winery was here for so long?! The building and surrounding grounds are beautiful. It's amazing they grow all their own grapes on site. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We learned so much new information about the wine making process. I loved that the wine tastings were given at different spots throughout the tour and we could sip as we walked around. You don't usually find great reds at Great Lakes wineries, but they had several reds and whites that we enjoyed. We'll definitely be back and we can't wait to try out their restaurant too!"
"We enjoyed both the wine tasting and lunch today. The wine, food and service were all excellent. The facility and grounds were beautiful. A real gem!!"
Make it a trip. Book a rental.
A trip to Capitol View Winery in Roca, Nebraska is well worth the visit. A quick day trip can be a blast, but if you really want to get the full experience, why not book a stay at a local VRBO?
​
