Once the harvest is finally in and the twenty-hour workdays draw to a close it is time to celebrate. We throw a big party to which you are invited. Pop-country and folk rock music provides the background, great food from a local vendor for the energy, and International Award Winning Wine the impetus.

From 3-6 we switch bands and end the entertainment with our last band performing from 6-9.
This is the time to come and show off your grape stomping skills! Competition fee is $10 per 2 member team, payment due with sign up form. Stomps are 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00 - more may be added depending on the number of competitors!
