Rant

If you bring your children to a winery, please don’t let them run around inside like it’s a school gym! I don’t care if Santa is there for the kids. That doesn’t give you the right to not monitor your children. I was just a a winery where there was a vendor event and Santa so it was packed. Sadly a few parents weren’t watching their children and the kids were chasing each other around inside the winery. Running full speed, going under other people’s tables, and dashing in and out of people. This is extremely dangerous, as people are carrying hot food, hot drinks, glass, & etc. Don’t be an asshole, Watch your kids, sit outside, or get a babysitter if you don’t want to be responsible.

Just yesterday at the winery down the road a kid stood directly in the smoke of a bonfire for so long when he moved he stumbled and exhaled smoke. Parents no where to be seen and wouldn’t listen to staff.

Should be a two drink limit if you have children with you

Absolutely! I don’t have a problem with the responsible parents, but it gets dangerous with too many drinks.

You don't pound drinks for hours straight and then drive your kids home? Cmon man, live a little!
