The cost of the tickets do not reflect the value of the event, and not in a good way! I’m all for “small town” events with a backyard feel, but when paying over $40 per ticket, $30 for kids, the expectations are set a little higher. I understand rain and weather happen, but the host needs to understand that as well and have a plan to still deliver value when weather occurs. The promo materials stated bounce houses, slides, activities for kids - none of those things were operational. The kids did get to touch 2 out of the 4 trucks. The drivers of the other 2 trucks told them not to touch. The wine slushy machine which was on the ads was broken. Although, the sangria was good!
The monster truck show itself was disappointing. 4 trucks that can run for a solid minute before they have to park to cool down means there’s more down time than there is show and nothing planned to fill that downtime, other than “sing alongs” which is fun for the first 30 minutes or so…after 2 hours, I start questioning why I paid so much for group karaoke. The demolition derby was underwhelming at best. I understand these aren’t modified demolition cars, so my expectations were reasonable. But watching 3 cars follow each other around with less than 10 instances of “contact” in 30 minutes is just not a demolition derby. (You would see more contact in a parking lot fender bender!) My assumption is they are saving the cars for the show on Sunday, but still. You advertised a demolition derby so there should be a better attempt to deliver some type of event that is remotely close to that.
After 2 hours of singing, the freestyle round was the last part of the show, and the announcer said they were doing repairs on the trucks so we were going to keep singing..we decided it was time to call it and left. The food vendors were closed down, and the selection of vendor tents (less than 5) wasn’t worth a stop.
It has potential, it really does, but the prices are going to have to more closely match what the customer is getting in experience if it’s going to work! I would not consider paying for another event, or driving an hour for it, after our...

This included the feast for 2 and a free bottle of wine. We arrived at 2:15 (event from 2-5). We had two roasted oysters each and a few fried oysters. Most of the food advertised was not as listed on the menu. When we went back for more oysters the food was gone. We expressed our frustration to an older lady who worked there and she just gave us the owner's business card. We stayed and enjoyed the rest of our really expensive ($160) bottle of wine. When I left I felt devieved and robbed of my $170. I emailed the owner with no response. I looked at the Facebook page to see that other's felt the same. They kept deleting all of the "negative" comments and edited out the words "all you can eat" from the original post. This whole establishment is in my opinion crooked. They are already wealthy so sure why not take from other...
Read moreTerrible place for customer service and horrible replies to people who want to share their "not so good" experiences with Wind Vineyards. My wife and I had high expectations on visiting more and participating more in their social events. After I received rather vicious replies from whoever runs their social media accounts (maybe from the owner) about a concern I raised, we are staying away.
And, I'm spreading the word about my experience with their customer service and feedback. Especially to the military community and bases. Trust me - I spread the word to folks to STAY AWAY.
I don't understand how an establishment can stay in business if they berate customers that don't give rosy & good reviews. "Good" business wants to hear all feedback, and will try to be understanding of customers that give feedback. I got nothing but grief. Judging from the other Google reviews, other folks have the...
