Debonné Vineyards Reviews

My wife and I love this place so much we were married there. The wines are not world beaters (what do you expect in Ohio?), but vey drinkable. Where they excel is at creating a fun atmosphere. Nowhere better on a sunny summer day. They bring in terrific entertainment and the outdoor dance floor is always busy. Some of their events can draw large crowds (balloon launch), so it is a good idea to bring chairs just in case. If you can't have fun here you might want to consider unbunching your panties. Love you Debonne!

Went to the balloon festival today. Had pay parking. Place was very crowded. Food & Drinks we're very high price. Balloon festival was a joke. Only 3 balloons blew up, didn't even take off. The weather was perfect no wind. If this is what Debonne calls a balloon festival they are sadly mistaken. Not worth the price of parking.

Great place to meet friends drink wine listen to music and relax

Semillon Reserve, Trintaudon, Vidal Blanc. Good pizza, great/friendly bartenders. Beautiful setting.

We had a great time here. Its a beautiful winery/brewery, great beer and wine.

Great experience, friendly staff beautiful atmosphere

We went for a tasting and discovered that they also had wine supplies. The manager was extremely helpful with giving us information. They have several very nice wines with a selection from dry to sweet.

Edited to reinforce 5 star review from most recent visit on 6/14/19. Seriously, the beer cheese hot dog is the best thing out of Ashtabula County since fried walley and Cab Franc. Great service, and atmoshphere whether it's early spring or the beautiful middle of summer. Funnest atmosphere of all area wineries. Wine is 4 out of 5. Atmosphere is a 6 out of 5.

I stop here every time I am in the area, it is a must for me. The grounds are beautiful and the wine is one of the best. Even the cheese plates and the food they have blow some of the locally wineries out of the vineyards. The only draw back is every year it seems like they have a new menu so when I come back the follow summer they don t have it anymore.

Can't remember when I haven't had a good time at the Debo Nae!

Arguably the best quality wine across the board in the Grand River Valley. Beautiful setting both inside and out and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Had an absolutely wonderful time on our recent visit to Debonne! The staff was extremely helpful, kind, and accommodating. They were sure to explain everything in detail immediately upon our arrival and answer all questions! The scenery and winery itself are absolutely beautiful and we loved the tray tastings! Such a cool and enjoyable atmosphere! Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back! Without a doubt my favorite of the wineries!

A lot of outdoor space. Extremely crowded when we were there. First come first serve seating. Enjoyed the experience but did not drink any wine. Beer, Beer , beer!!!!

Beautiful setting. Food was excellent and the scenery was enjoyable.

Great selection of wine. Also have a restaurant, and a brewery attached.

Every time I have been to Debonne, I have enjoyed myself. Good place to have a great time.

Great place for families and fun. Every other Wednesday they have tethered hot air balloon rides! This is fun for all ages!

One of the best atmospheres you will get up around the lake. Wine is good, beer is VERY good. Great live music most nights. Lots of room to spread out and relax. Super friendly staff.

Rude staff immediately upon arrival, went back to car and called for manager who was also just as rude....never again will we go here

Stopped on a whim,,,,asked serving staff a question and was rudely answered....asked for a sample of Ice Wine and was told, I could only get it in a glass....purchased the glass of wine. Decided to sample another and was told by that person they do have samples of ice wine, they stated the server was just busy and did not understand what we asked. Busy or not, we left and went to another winery up the street and made a rather large purchase there....I do not think I will return.

Best sweet (wife): pink catawba
Best drier: the riesling

Nice place Great Wine! 1st time and I will be going back

Went twice in two days. Wine flights and beers first day. Food and a little more wine and beer the second day. Live music as well that wasn't bad

This winery was really nice. I love that they have a wine tasting room and a beer tasting room! I also like that you can pay $10 for a generous wine platter and take home a souvenir glass. They had a great band playing and a lot of people were dancing. I wouldn t pass this place up if you re winery hopping.

Loved the music and the grounds. There should be more food choices.

Service is always friendly and fun. Wine and beer are always great!

Beautiful location inside & out. Generous servings of food and the Cellar Cabernet we had was fantastic! Music outside and air conditioning inside, what's not to love?

Debonne is one of my favorite wineries in the area. They have very sprawling grounds, with lots of outdoor seating and live music. Their tasting room is also quite nice. I could take or leave the bar area, why do we need animal heads? Despite not really enjoying decapitated animals, I don't think they make a whole lot of decor sense outside of log cabin lodges. That complaint aside, Debonne is a great place!

Went here on chocolate lovers wine trail but have been buying their wine for years. Best wine in NE Ohio and great place to visit.

Delicious Sangria! Beautiful outdoor patio. Best overall in the area!

Beautiful and peaceful setting. Enjoyed a $10 tasting of 8 sweet wines that came with crackers & dark chocolate. Found great value in this tasting!

The staff and Beth, owner, was awesome! We stopped in and did some tastings. Everything was top notch. Beth came over and introduced herself and after a few minutes of talking we were on a tour. I highly recommend visiting the winery. Staff is great.

Love your winery Benny! Thank you for having a quiet and serine winery. We love coming here! Perfect in the woods and next to the river. Great music also!

Wonderful owners, Beth & Tony. The outdoor space is amazing, fantastic grill or order a cheese plate to go along with the delicious wines. The drive to their Estate Vineyard, reminds me of California Vineyards. You will not be disappointed. Come and visit!

Loved it!! Their patio is amazing!! Can't wait for summer to come so we can enjoy it!! Service is GREAT! Wine is even better!!

Came for the Hot Air Balloon Rally, highly reccomend. Beautiful setting and delicious wine!

Wine was decent. Pretzels were good. I don't recall anything else. Must have been middle of the road. I remember not getting horrible disappointed, but not terribly impressed either. Give it a try. My taste buds aren't yours.

Great service. People are so respectful. Beer and wine were really good as well as the cheese plate.

Signed up for the adult Easter egg hunt years ago and wasn't able to attend. Wouldn't refund my money said I could use it towards another event. Never have never will. I'd like my money back though.

Great space! Great beer n wine! Even w covid restrictions

A great winery to finish off a great Saturday winery run. Great music on the weekends. Worth visiting every time

Wine and cheese plates are awesome! They also brew there own beer, Rat Cellar. Almost always have a band on Sat, and a huge outdoor patio.

The staff is friendly. The good is presented well. The building itself has remarkable character. Prices seen reasonable and the location and decor are perfect for a quiet time during the day with a friend.

Enjoyed ourselves
Good music
Staff was well prepared
Thank you

Too many guests for the current health situation.
No one masked.
No one seemed to know how far apart 6' should have been.

Beautiful. The atmosphere is great. The wine is amazing. Can t wait to go back when the weather is nicer.

Great place to visit. Nice selection of beer and wine.

They've added extra tables with umbrellas but the placement of them does not utilize the space to its best capacity.

Great winery, only problem I see is when there are bands playing and wedding parties are present the ladies disregard the posting of no glasses on dance floor.

Debonne Vineyards is probably the best known and most visited vineyard in the region and for good reasons. Debonne has been producing excellent wine and craft beer for many years. On my last visit I tasted the 2013 Vidal Blanc ice wince and I was very pleased with it. It's not overly sweet, it's well balanced with hints of pear.

Fantastic outdoor space. Wines are really good for the area. Very limited food options. In house beer brewing. Beer is OK, I wish it were better. Bands tend to be good and there is always a good, friendly crowd. Service is good. The only real gripe is that they close at 8:00Pm on Saturdays.

Lovely place for a glass of wine, especially ice wine

Great place. It's beautiful inside and out, with great beer and wine. Had the bleu bother, it was wonderful

Exceptional fun for wine lovers and beer searchers. Live entertainment really happy with cabernet sauvignon reserve! Seriously regretting not buying a case!

Beautiful in the summer sitting outside at shaded tables or inside in cool air. First time in winter, and it was warm and welcoming. Perfect for a warm quiet visit with friends. They support the fine arts and donate to the groups from the sales.

What a wonderful experience! We came here as our 4th winery visit and it was our favorite. My parents enjoy sweet and dessert wines and they had a wonderful array of choices in comparison to the other wo wines we visited today. The cheese, cracker and bread tray was a wonderful addition! Great job Debonne!

Nice ambiance. Beautiful scenery. Good music. Wonderful wine. Way off the beaten path but worth the trip.

Great service,b nice selection of food and wine and beer

Nice place to stop but very much overcrowded most days and even though I am beer guy I am very much not sold on Celler Rat/Double Wing.

Great atmosphere and great wine! The Moscato-Riesling is a must have if you like sweet wine. They have bands on the weekend and an outside bar that serves wine and food. Last but not least, there are two bocce courts that you can play on for free. We had a great time!

We stopped here on our way to my boyfriends parents for Christmas. We came for food and left with more wine than we should have. In bottles I mean. It was great to relax sip wine and munch away a few hours before heading to the hotel.Great memorys were made here.

Lovely evening spent there. It offers the variety of wine or beer tasting, food and entertainment. For someone who doesn't drink wine or beer, they offer cold pressed juices that are delicious.

Excellent wines & really nice staff! Quite an enjoyable experience!

We raised our kids doing the Easter egg hunt and bringing gourmet picnic hampers, sitting outside listening to live music. What great memories. Thank you DeBonne Vineyards.

Great wine, great atmosphere, great service. What else is there to say.

A great place to relax..they really do bottle sunshiny days!

Great atmosphere, lots of outdoor seating. Love the wine tasting trays..great idea.

They need to work on food presentations did not care for the soprano plate..not very eye appealing..tacky.

We had such a great time here. The atmosphere is relaxed and very comfortable. The interior is a little dark, the weather was beautiful, so we opted for outside tasting. Even the wines we don't usually like were delicious. The food was limited in choice, but generous in quantity and quality. The staff was quite knowledgeable about their wines and very service oriented.The setting is just beautiful. The vineyards are rolling and make you forget what you left behind

This rating is relative to other wineries in the area. Debonne has live music, decent wines, decent custom brews, in a very cozy atmosphere. The food is very average but with all the other positives, who cares. Ample parking. Friendly staff. Love it. Edit: Fun, fun, fun. Edit: The pizza is quite decent.

Awesome venue. The wine was fabulous. I had one of the Riesling's. Forecast was great. Everyone had a good time!!!
