Always a great time. Great food, good wine, some of the best bands around.

Thank you for hosting Daniel Donato and the cosmic crew, only change I'd make is maybe moving the tables to create a bigger dance area, other than that show was fantastic thank you again!

I've been to Danenberger Family Winery countless times. They have amazing wines and other drinks. The food is awesome as well. Great outdoor and indoor seating area. The concert venue is show stopping!!!!! With great acoustics n lighting and intimate feel, there's not a bad seat in the house!! Very unique and enjoyable atmosphere!!! Be sure to tell Susan Danenberger that Big Ole Bald Crazzy Carl recommended her place and give her a big ole hug from me.DANENBERGER WINERY ROCKS!!!!!

Great place to just relax and have a nice glass of wine or two and the friendly pups are a plus. Also, enjoy the friendly conversations with the owners should you happen to arrive early or in my case maybe a little too early which they have been more than happy to accommodate me. Thanks for your hospitality,

Came here on a whim so my boy could catch a couple songs at the concert. Brought my dog… big mistake. They’re not dog friendly except with their own dogs. I totally get it..: but just a forewarning… your dogs are NOT welcome here. Still love this place, just a shame u can’t bring your fur babies.

Friendly staff and a place to have a great time

Phenomenal tasting dinner. Intimate setting in front of the fire, the most hospitable of hosts and most important - amazing food. I truly enjoyed this as an experience, from the inspiration of each dish to meeting new food lovers. What a lovely place, can't wait to come back next time I'm in town.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Unpleasant Treatment from the OwnersI am writing this review to express my extreme disappointment with the recent experience my party of 10 had at your winery, especially during what should have been a joyous celebration for my best friend's wedding.Our visit took a turn for the worse when we encountered a shocking lack of professionalism and courtesy from the owner. The day we went for the celebration, a concert was playing at the Winery. We were excited to celebrate and were reassured at the entrance that there would be no cover charge for our large group, given that we weren't attending the concert but rather enjoying the post-wedding festivities.We ordered plenty of main courses, wine glasses and wine bottles. Easily already having spent upwards of $200, and intending on buying more.To our dismay, about an hour later, the owner confronted us abruptly, insisting that we pay for the concert, despite our prior confirmation at the entrance. The encounter was marked by the owner's rude demeanor and dismissive attitude towards our genuine concerns. We were told there was no chance anyone at the establishment informed us otherwise as he was the owner and made the decisions and there was no way he would spend $15,000 on a concert and let people sit in the establishment without paying the cover charge, even if we were not actually attending the concert. It's disheartening to be treated so disrespectfully, especially on such a special occasion.15 minutes later we were approached by a staff member who acknowledged the miscommunication and assured us we could stay without any extra charges, the ordeal continued. Another staff member, presumably the co-owner, approached us later with contradictory information, suggesting that we were pre-informed about the cover charge. This inconsistent communication and the subsequent insistence on payment soured our celebration.The fact that the establishment chose to turn off the speakers near our table only after multiple back-and-forths speaks volumes. If this was an option, why wasn't it offered initially to avoid unnecessary tension and confusion?Despite our initial intention to stay until closing and order more, the treatment we received made us rethink our decision. The compensation offered – real glasses instead of plastic – felt more like a diversion than a genuine apology for the inconvenience caused.It is regrettable that an establishment we once considered a favorite treated us so poorly on such a significant occasion. The unprofessional behavior of the owners and the lack of a sincere apology have left us with a bitter taste, and we have decided not to return. Our celebration was marred by this experience, and we hope this feedback prompts improvements in customer service for future patrons.

The worst experience. I paid $210.00 for a table, but the people who purchase general admission can stand wherever they want. I had drinks spilled on me, feet stepped on and elbowed in the face. When you purchase tickets the map that shows you were GA is located is not the case they have free rein over the venue! Save your money and go GA!
We were lucky enough to stop here on our tour and we have been blown away!!!! The food is INCREDIBLE. Every bite was better than the last!!!!!! The people who work and run the place here are so welcoming and warm, they clearly love what they do and where they work. Incredible place. You must come by and visit.

I bought vip tickets to see Tom Sandoval, it said nothing about what time the meet and greet would be. I bought the tickets at 5:05 and when we got there at 6 (show starts at 7, or so it said it started shortly after 7:30) they told us that the meet and greet was over. I can understand that the band isn't going to do another meet and greet, however it was said that the vip tickets come with a table and chairs. They made multiple announcements that the tables and chairs were for meet and greet. I didn't even get an actual table, they put us in a corner (a very sticky speaker for a "table" and no chairs. Waste of money for vip tickets that didn't even have the meet and greet time listed. I'm assuming the guy we talked to was the manager but was not super friendly or helpful, pretty much was just like "too bad"Honestly the show was good and the wine is ok but the people in charge are less than helpful and not very welcoming. Why even allow people to purchase the tickets if it's after the time the event, which again, was not listed properly. They even told us when we got there that they would try to get us SOMETHING since we paid for vip and they made quite literally no effort and seemed more annoyed we even talked to them. Literally just a chair would have been nice, or somewhere to put my drink that looked like it had been cleaned this year. I'd see Tom Sandoval again, just not at this place, which I would not return to

Went there on Saturday September 23 to check out their wines and to buy a few bottles to take home. We seen 3 guys working on food but no one was there serving wine and we waited around about10 minutes then left with no one even speaking to us. This is one of the only wineries in Illinois we hadn't been to but we will definitely not be going back again!
