Persimmon Ridge Winery — Attraction in Imperial Township

If you're a designated driver looking to be responsible for your party or you simply do not drink alcohol but are attending an event for friends or family, be prepared to have little to zero options for non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, not only is management unsympathetic towards a person's reformations, they are incredibly rude to those who want something other than water or soda.

I had a bottle of unsweetened tea since I do not prefer soda or water and was scolded by the female manager who was more concerned about earning profit than a person's reason for bringing an outside beverage in the venue. I wasn't even given the opportunity to explain why I had it. I could have had a medical reason and from how this so called "establishment" treated me I feel as though they would not fairly consider those with medical conditions or disabilities.

My experience is from the perspective of someone who can't drink alcohol and I was treated extremely poorly and I will not return.

I will also add that another party arrived after I did and they had outside drinks with them and they were not told to remove the drinks from the premises by the managers. In fact, the female manager went directly to the table multiple times and did not say anything to the them. Then another patron came in with an outside beverage, went up to the bar, stood right in front of the male manager who didn't say anything to that person either - until he noticed that I saw that he had blatantly ignored his own policy, however that patron was not scolded as I was.

Might I add I am a different gender than the individual patron and the other party.

So it appears that management is inconsistent with their own policies or it may be that they prefer specific genders over others. I will add that other parties who did drink were well received by the staff and had an...

I worked a catering for a family at this establishment and the owners are extremely rude! When I first arrived the lady owner told me that I shouldn't of been there until 5:00 p.m. to set up which I arrived a little after 4:30. She told me that the guest of honor wouldn't be there until 6:00 and questioned me of the food would still be good even when i hadn't set it up yet. I apologized for the mixup with times as I was told that I would be serving the party at 5:30. The owner also questioned if I had enough food to accommodate the whole party which in fact I did. Next I dropped a noodle on the floor while serving and didnt realize and the guy owner comes over to me with a paper towel and said "here so you can clean up your spillage". When I asked if I could use the sink to dump water from the serving dishes I was told to dump it outside in the grass then he changed his mind and said he would dump it down the sink. I totally understand wanting to keep their place of business nice and clean however that doesn't take a nasty rude attitude to do. To think when I fist arrived I thought how nice and cute the place was then I was met with a nasty attitude from the owners and that changed my whole perspective. I would never recommend this...

BEST WINERY IN THE AREA!!! If you can read English there are signs posted before entering that clearly say no outside beverages or liquids of any kind lol. Pretty obvious you wouldn’t take your own drinks into a restaurant or other eatery. This isn’t a major franchise, this is a locally owned small business. Support your local businesses!!!! $1 water isn’t expensive 🙄 . The owners work hard to keep their customers happy, that being said. A lot of the complaints I’m reading on here are common sense. This is a winery, not a playground.

Some of the best firestone pizzas made in the area, per Arch Eats podcast, they are in the top 5. Wine SLUSHIES!! Lots of merch options too, for men and women. Live music. With a number of events hosted on weekends posted on their website. If you have any wondering thoughts if you should try this place out. Do it and find out for yourself. The drive back through the winding road, opening up to a tucked back away winery, hearing the music playing through the brisk fall air surrounded by the woods of color changing leaves falling….is all you need for a relaxing weekend full of laughs and a new hangout spot for you, your family or friends. Persimmon Ridge Winery, you...
