Join us for our 8th annual grape stomp event. Festivities begin at 12 pm with the first stomp starting about 1 pm. Competitive stomps and kids stomps, so bring your family and friends! Time trials will determine the most productive stomper, measured by the volume of juice produced.

Stomping fee is $10 per entry, with all proceeds in support of Bluewater Centre for Raptor Rehabilitation. Raptors help keep the grape-eating bird populations in control. Food will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to Bluewater Centre for Raptor Rehabilitation.

Reserve your spot here – limited to 100 stompers (booked in advance) – book and pay in advance on eventbrite at: Grape Stomping Tickets

No tickets are needed to just show up and view the activities, drink wine,  and eat while enjoying the afternoon on our lovely covered patio and grounds.

Stomping is done on a first come, first stomp basis, so participants don’t need to all arrive at the start.  Stomping will continue until participants, or grapes, run out.

Enjoy a sample of our wines in our tasting room during the festivities, or a glass on the patio.

Patio, prizes, stomping trophy and bragging rights up for grabs, plus a children’s category,  along with live music (details to follow)  on the patio.  Local musician, Joan Spalding and a Ted Ball (fiddler), will be playing all afternoon sponsored by Ravell Insurance Inc.

Local Artisans (partial list follows) will be selling their wares along our newly installed walkway as well.
