Decor is just plain tacky. Ice wine was worst of the tour. We were supposed to get two ice wine samples each. The bartender brought one to our table and disappeared.

What a disappointing experience the ice wine brunch was…the advertised chicken and waffles looked amazing! What they served was NOT what they advertised. Some positives: good seating and lighting, good music, and the waffles were liege waffles (them alone- very good). One the downside…everything was on plastic plates or in styrofoam…luckily the silverware wasn’t plastic. The chicken seemed like frozen from a bag, paper thin bacon that evaporated on contact…no meat to chew, flavorless melon cup. Also, we left hungry…for the price point ~$20/pp that should NOT have been the case. Great idea with poor execution.

Usually great experience, but not today. Everyone else I was with ordered the special Burger meister burger and really enjoyed it, while I ordered their regular burger and got what appeared to be a cheap frozen patty that was well done on one half and raw on the other half. The bun tasted stale, and the onions were tiny, tasteless, stringy, and inedible. While everyone else's burgers were thick and juicy, mine was dry and tasteless. I've had better meat from dollar menus at cheap fast food restaurants. Furthermore, nobody ever asked how our food was. The highlight of the meal was the jarred pickle and stale potato chips. The only consolation was the $8 Christmas ale knock off that took 15 minutes to order.

Not bad, was told we need to come back in the Spring/Summer to really get the full effect...so we will do that. But for now, we did a wine tour & this was our 4th stop. Food was decent, got the sausage dip & it was yummy. Interior tables were really too small for our party of 6, but we made due. We had both wine & beer flights/tastings....not bad. Again, we will be back, it's WORTH a second look.

This was my second time going to debonne & i more than likely wont be back. The staff was okay, I didn’t have very much interaction with them as it was essentially self serve. We ordered a wine flight which came in plastic shot glasses with a small piece of chocolate. We also got bruschetta and the Brie with blackberry jam. The bread for the bruschetta was hard and not very appetizing, they also use mozzarella balls instead of slices so there wasn’t much on it. The Brie wheel had basically no cheese in it, just enough to cover two crackers then it was gone which is shocking considering it’s 15$. Everything was served on plastic, in plastic, or with plastic utensils. We got the winery burger to share, I don’t know if the burger was frozen or something but it had no flavor and was dry. Tasted like it was reheated & served which wouldn’t be surprising since it took 5min to come out after being ordered. When I went to the bar to pay the check, the employee took my money & said “have a good night” and never returned with my change. I’m a server, I have no issue tipping, if anything I overtip most of the time. However, she didn’t exactly serve us at all. We had a buzzer to go up to the bar & grab our food when it was ready. The most she had to do was buss the table. I was going to leave a tip but she took it upon herself to just keep my change anyways. It wasn’t an insane amount so I let it go but I think it’s very rude to act somewhat entitled to a customers money. Overall, the quality of any food we got did not match the prices on the menu. If you’re expecting fresh food worth the money you’re spending, don’t get it from here!

My wife visited and toured the Debonne Vineyards a few weeks ago. It was quite enjoyable. We've toured several wineries in California, NY and Virginia. So we have some other winery tours to compare it to.
The Debonne tour was among the better tours. The facility was midsize relative to the other wineries we have toured.
The tour we took included a tasting of several wines and included cheeses and other food, all very enjoyable.
I believe if you like a wine, regardless of the price or how famous the vineyard is or the year it's a good wine and the wines we tasted were all very good. The if you "like a wine it is good wine" idea is something I've heard from many food and drink professionals.
The tour also included a tour of their wine making process, equipment and facility. There was some educational portions of the wine making process and equipment. They were also happy to answer any questions. I'm very curious and love to learn so i generally ask a lot of questions and I did on this tour.
Because of the time of year there wasn't much to tour of the vineyards. And there was no harvesting going on at the time.
We enjoyed the wines we tasted so decided to buy some....
We ended up buying a lot more wine than we expected because we discovered the price of the wine at the winery was lower than if we bought it from retail store. Instead of a few bottles we bought a few cases. We where also surprised even the retail prices weren't higher.
To top it off the staff offered to carry the cases of wine to our car and loaded it in. .... A perfect visit and day.

My husband and I have visited the winery many times, this visit gave us a unique inside look. We never knew how complex the operation was. I highly recommend this behind the scenes crush experience

Was at the Comedy show October 17th, great show Jake Iannarino was hilarious. The wife and I had the Mango Peach, and the Red Berry Sangria, both were excellent. Hand the street corn dip appetizer also so very. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Really nice place. Great atmosphere, nice building... everything is very clean. A great crowd, great conversation, lots of people having fun, Bachelorette parties!¡!!??????. The beer was good. And no problem having a few samples to figure out what it is you want to drink. The music was very nice as well what a beautiful day
Justin was fun to joke with & the tour was very informative. Looking forward to a return trip. We took 2 bottles of their Cab-Cab home.

Attended clambake and thought the food was very good and came to the table warm. Service was attentive and the venue was rustic. Enjoyed the meal and venue (and DeBonnne wine) greatly.
Michael Lind
Very below average food, especially for the prices. We got the Winery Burger…frozen fries, appeared to be a frozen meat patty. Atmosphere was ok, but seems to be very confused if it wants to be a winery, brewery, or retirement community.

Great wine pairing and very interesting tour!

One of our favorite wineries in the area, we did their harvest crush tour and had a blast! The pairings were amazing! Everyone should go!
Very nice place for a drink and relaxing
