Definitely an asset to the Northeast Ohio wine country. Service here is beyond any other winery you'll go to in the area and the tasting attendants, brewery staff, and gift restaurant employees are incredibly hospitable. Wine quality is definitely better than a lot of the other well-known wineries in this area and very affordable too. It's easy to spend all day here tasting, eating, and just relaxing. You can't go wrong with a visit here.

I really liked that Debonne has a separate tasting room from the bar. I visited on a Saturday, so staff was very busy, but friendly. The wine was pretty decent. They offer a large array of wines, from white to red, dry to sweet. The $10 flight was underwhelming, but the souvenir glass was a nice bonus. Un-Oaked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir-Syrah, and Pink Catawba were my favorite.

Starting from the parking, got a place right in front. Already nice. At the counter I was welcomed with love and respect. Obviously at a new place it always make sense to try a little bit of everything and something for aftertaste(cab sauvignon glass 8oz).
Long story short, amazing service, amazing design and place, amazing people with great atmosphere, and last but not least the wine. OMG, opens up all the chakras.

My favorite will be CASK 2. Judge for Yourself. For ultimate rating on their premium wines (my opinion only that I don't force on nobody) can be seen on instagram @serginius33

Awesome winery (and brewery). The wines are very, very good; they are consistent; and their prices are reasonable. We take all our guests here when visiting the wineries. I can list all the wines we like, but that would be all of them, so it is best to go taste them yourselves. Had our first Pinot Grigio Sangria last weekend. Wondeful! Always coming back for more. They have a wide selection of beer too, and all of them are great. If you never visited, I would recommend ordering a flight or two of their wines. They even offer a flight of all their beer.

Came for the hot air balloon event and the balloons didnt leave the ground, the food was not good. Every steak was well done which runs the steak, we were promised caramelized onions and balsamic glaze and got some grilled onions and mushrooms. The salad literally had no dressing at all, zero. Also I paid over $35 a ticket and $40 on wine to eat on paper plates and high school cafeteria trays. They're were people demanding for $5 'donations' for parking when it did not say that anywhere when we purchased the tickets. They staff at the outside wine bar was rude and inconsiderate when we asked questions about the wine since we had never been there. Overall, just a terrible experience for a winery we were trying for the first time. We will not be back

The only reason this place isn't a 5 star is the confusion about where to sit, order food, and drinks. What we discovered is that you can sample at the bar and take to your seats.
Cheese plates have to be ordered at the bar.
Food has to be ordered outside.
This was hard for us because we wanted to sample wine, order a cheese plate and get an appetizer. So we kind of needed to be in both places at once. It was not convenient.
With that being said, the staff was friendly, although we did encounter one older woman who was less than pleasant as we had taken a bar menu into the dining area. We were chastised for our violation.
The soprano plate is everything great about drinking wine and snacking.
Finally, the wine flight for $7.00 gives you 8 samples and a small souvenir glass. While you're relegated to a pre-made set of samples, there is enough to pick from in your taste preference.
Oh, and the beer was not very far from the bar and their wide selection should mean something for everyone, even a pilsner-style beer similar to American brews.

This has nice indoor and a lot of outdoor seating. The only downfall is there's only one place to order wine and food and it seems to take a while because the staff just doesn't have the ability to do a big volumes of orders.

Perfect day to drive out to Debonne Vineyards. Did a wine tasting with 3 cheeses sausage and crackers and we tried the spicy meatballs too. Music dancing and relaxing. The fall colors on the trees were all around. Beautiful. Bought Cabernet Franc.

DeBonne should be ashamed of themselves! We went there today not only for the jazz festival, but to celebrate my daughter's birthday. When we got there, 90% of the tables outside were reserved. Unacceptable! Probably won't be back and I hope a lot of others who frequent DeBonne will feel the same way. Poor show!

Good wine, good food, great atmosphere, live music most nights. Beer also available. Within close proximity to many other wineries but Debonne is one of the oldest and largest. There are tons of spaces here for private events. We visited for the hot air balloon event and it was fantastic!

After visiting several other wineries in the area, we found Debonne to be the best experience, the most affordable, and friendliest staff/service. Oh yeah, their wine didn't taste like crap like the others (cough ferrante cough...). Make sure to visit and try their fresh pressed grape juice if available.

This is the 2nd time my husband and I took our 2 small children to see these Hot Air Balloons....what a huge disappointment and waste of time!! NEVER again will we attend or recommend this event or any other events that Debonne Vineyards puts...I feel that Debonne Vineyards will say that they will have these balloons just to have them blown up but they will never fly them Honestly, the weather couldn t be more perfect last night, no rain, no wind....what more did you need?! Our son has autism and lucky he didn t have a meltdown so we were able to leave peacefully...I just don t get why host a event that all your going to have is Hot Air Balloons that stay on the ground and never go up, all we got to see is the 6 Balloons playing games and wasting their gas for about 30ish mins.! What a joke, you keep this up Debonne Vineyards, and your going to eventually lose business!! I didn t mind paying the $5 to park, but I m definitely glad I didn t give them any more money while we were there...

Pleasant atmosphere on patio .the sandwiches were average priced and tasty, the wine sampler averaged about $10 and bottled about $20. Reisling sampler was good with water bottle and goldfish crackers.

Saw the Razzleberry wine at my local Heinen's and thought I'd give it a try since they are a local vineyard and, let's be honest, what sounds more delicious than raspberry reisling? It was truly amazing how they managed to blend the essence of expired cough syrup with the cheapest vodka they could find! And all while maintaining the subtle undertones of rat poison and warheads from Halloween 1994!! My only complaint is that there wasn't enough in the bottle to make me vomit, just enough to make me call off work the next day sick as a dog. Would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't think their large $5 pizza will be enough to ruin their night!

This was the most chaotic winery I ve ever been to. I would only recommend if you want to get Covid - there were mass numbers of people and the website pictures misrepresented the atmosphere and food.

Enjoyed the night. Had some live music. The sangria tastes delicious. We sampled some beer while there. I enjoyed the Pilsner. I will definitely go back.

We stopped by on a whim while staying in the area and decided to do a tasting. Their wines are okay but the ice wine is exceptional. We ended up buying 2 bottles since it is the perfect wine to drink ice cold on a hot day.

I arrived to Debonne for the first time this Saturday at 8pm and luckily i was so turned off by their rude help that i left before trying the wine. Apparently they close the wine for private parties on Saturday nights, but they still let other patrons in, and then rudely ask them to leave if they are not with a private party. Save yourself and go to another local winery, i wish i would have read the reviews before trying this place out. We then tried South River Winery and it was fantastic.

We came out for the balloon lift, and had dinner with friends. My wife and I each ordered chicken sandwiches. My sandwich was half cooked (physically one half was cooked, the other side was rubbery). My wife's sandwich was partially cooked in one section. I returned mine to the counter when I bit into the partially cooked section. The cashier was helpful and friendly. The cook/supervisor that she referred me to was argumentative, and dismissive of my claim. She then said she would give me an appetizer. I asked for a burger (which was cheaper) and was told no, just the appetizer. I ordered nothing then. The cashier approached me later, and said she was having them cook me a burger. I refused at this point, and thanked her (she was pleasant).

On the plus side, I ordered the Butter Pecan Porter, and it was awesome.

The balloon ride was fun, but short, it lasts about 2-3 minutes.

This is our second year going on the hot air balloon ride. The service was incredible both times. I went on with my son and wish I would have brought my camera to get pictures of the insane view.

Love the sangria and their atmosphere is perfect for summer.
