  On a 100° day, water was confiscated upon entry and no water stations provided. Water sold for $2 per bottle. Guest were allowed to bring in ice and could visit bathrooms to take water from sinks. Additionally, some beers were clearly not filtered correctly and filled with hop residue. -- 2nd UPDATE: The call from ownership was clearly lip service based on reviews of their most recent event. It would seem that very little has been done to address these issues. I've updated my star rating. -- 1st UPDATE: One of the partners at The Vineyard at Hershey called me personally to discuss these issues. He was very cordial and we enjoyed a candid conversation about ways that events could be improved in the future to provide better customer service and information if issues like this arise. He explained that there have been very real issues with guests smuggling in vodka disguised as water and these instances have forced the "no outside beverages" rule. I was informed that there are water fountains on the premises that can be used by guests that have concerns (one person in our party was diabetic and was very worried about having water). Also, as I mentioned below, water coolers with ice are allowed and these water fountains can be utilized if there are any health concerns. I applaud him for picking up the phone and having a hard discussion with an upset customer. I've retained my original post for transparency.
