Basically, you will find everything at Debonne. A huge wine selection, food (a restaurant and also a grille), always entertainment going on, a butt load of events such as, hot air balloon rides and old time car shows, just to name a few. The events are my favorite feature here.
The thing I have always found true with Debonne Winery is there are so many mixed reviews. Some people love it and some people hate it. But this is a hugely successful winery, out of all the wineries in Ohio, this winery probably brings in the most revenue. If people "hate it" how did it grow so large?
I was never exactly sure what was the root cause of so many conflicting reviews of this Ohio winery. But I was determined to get to the bottom of this and discover the reason. To accomplish this, one summer night I was visiting my parent at their lake community, my sister and her friends were there and many of my parents friends and I knew many of these people had been to Debonne Vineyards.
So as I sat around the fire with this group of people I broke out a bottle of Pinot Gris from Debonne and started to tell everyone how great the wine and winery was and the more obnoxious I got, the more expressive the people around the fire were on their reviews of this winery.
The Lake Poeple's Reviews of Debonne Winery
My Mother - She loves everything. The wines, the food the events, especially the hot air balloon rides.
My Sister - She is much like my mom but she says you can find many wineries in the area with better wines.
My Father - He absolutely hates the wines, the food is alright but he loves the classic car show and he also hopes he never has to ride in another hot air balloon with my mother and sister.
My Brother-in-law - He hates the winery.
Jill - She took one sip of the Pinot Gris, looked into my eyes, squeezed my knee and asked if I was single, Jill has never been to Debonne Winery.
Nicole - She is not crazy about the wines but she loves their house brewed beers. I think Nicole is a lush.
Jerry - He has been there once and couldn't care-less to go back. In all fairness, Jerry is not a wine drinker.
Bruce - No, don't ever go there. Drinking their wine is like drinking Listerine.
Nacy - Even though she lives in the small town of Madison, Ohio she has never visited Debonne Winery. But she did say she really like the Pinot Gris I had brought to the fire.
Robin - She said this was her favorite winery in Northeast Ohio and got in an argument with anyone who had anything bad to say about the place.
Timmy - fell off his chair and I think he is still trying to get up.
At the end of the review, I saw a pattern. Most people love the events at Debonne. Most people think the food is good. But when it comes to their wines its usually the women who love them and the men who hate them.
