After three (3) years visiting regularly and bringing dozens of guests without any incident, the true colors of this business have now come out. On our previous visit and while we had given them the benefit of the doubt, we were harassed in a very uncomfortable manner for our pet even though we had specifically been told in all of our previous visits that it is a leash free property. Quote: "All those which do not agree can leave". But this short-minded mentality and customer loyalty came abruptly to an end without any thought as to all of our other visits. Once more the lack of culture resulted in a mental flip. Putting this quick change in pet policy behind us, and chalking it up to a skip in the day, we had a guest in from overseas, and with their kids and ours all together, we planned out another day once again at the winery. Yet all of a sudden and out of complete nowhere, that is just after sitting down and paying for service, the owner came charging at us from afar shaking his fingers in our faces telling us that our kids cannot run around alone. As if he had dementia or bad reaction to a medication, he quickly burst out with, "I remembered you from the last visit and no one wants you around". This was complete news to us! Everyone was shocked and speechless. But this was a friendly business to my family for three prior years and with no indication that there was or would ever be a problem. Never was there a fight nor even an argument until we had been given a bit of a run through on our previous visit for our family pet being off his lease. Based on previous experiences, we just thought this was a disgruntled employee with a temporary power play. But the issue went, even more, downhill when the "Owner" said we need to keep all four (4) kids on a leash. Not a fictitious leash, but an actual leash. Everyone was once again completely shocked, rather speechless for a moment. He kept saying it over and over in some form of weird delusional hatred and/or vindictiveness toward little kids. This guy was serious, not sarcastic and no question, he was slightly demented in his overtone. He also had no problem saying this stuff in front of everyone, including other customers, guests, and all the kids in our group. It was the strangest thing we had ever seen an owner do. It seemed as this was officially a complete meltdown. The kids were sitting on the grass in a circle playing a game quietly. No sound, no kids screaming, no crying, nothing but the wind, sun and 4 kids under the age of 10 sitting to themselves without any "Phone or Pad". It was true bliss. Again, to be very clear, no one was yelling, and no one was arguing. Just out of the blue we were told that the kids are not allowed to play on the property but only directly next to us. But what about all the other 2 dozen times for which we played and enjoyed the day? What about all the other kids in our previous visits? We started to make this our regular fun weekend adventure because it had families and dogs running around. This place has a big field and plenty of room. Though before we knew it, that is approximately 15 minutes later, the kids simply moved 50 feet across from us to an open grass area to be within the direct light. And what do you know, here he comes again, running down the property waving his fingers in the air and in front of everyone. Shaking his fingers and hands, while stomping down through the property like a giant man-baby. He then ran up, slapped his hands together several times and told us to get out, pack our stuff up and never come back. He also proceeded to state that no one wants our business and that they do not care what so ever about our feelings or the fact that we had brought in guests from overseas. If this is the American two faced loyalty and backstabbing respect we teach others from different countries, then help us all for we are in more trouble than one would think. If you want to visit this winery, trust there is no effective loyalty to good clean paying customers. This situation presented no respect or appreciation to the past nor even a present memory of logic. So, visit Wimberly Winery, but don't forget to put your kids on a leash... That said, we had several people of color as well as two additional languages being spoken. Plus I do not ever drink and am always and forever everyone's designated driver. In this case, we all walked away believing that the owners are drinking too much of their own bug juice and so when confronting someone sober it turned them off their high floating log. Plus and at the end of the day kids are not welcome! read more
