There’s more to the Napa Valley wine scene than just sipping local blends. Get active and have some good old fashioned fun with grape crushing this season! Harvest is around the corner and grape crushing is so fun, it should be on everyone’s bucket list! Enjoy some laughs, get dirty out in the California sun, and make lasting memories with the people you love.
Join us for the harvest and crush in Napa Valley this August, September, and October during the peak time of year.
Grape stomping takes a step away from the original way of wine making and uses bare feet to get the grape juices flowing instead of with using a press. Historically, it has been part of the process of wine making but it’s also a ton of fun! On your upcoming summer trip to one of our Calistoga bed and breakfasts, check this fun activity off your summer to-do list and enjoy some laughs and fun memories. Dress casual and be ready to get down and dirty. Find information on the best wineries to visit near our inns. Most wineries use more modern techniques now but you can still find a few holding special stomping sessions.
