For thousands of years, people have used grape stomping as a means of making wine. Join in on this fun tradition and try to out-stomp the competition. We won't be making wine with the juice you press, but we will be weighing it to find a winner. Events run throughout the weekend.  New this year, you can jump in the vat and stomp grapes on your own in our open stomping.
