Good to know

  • 💡 Teams of four can reserve advance grape-stomping spots — stompers must be 21+, so book early if you want barrel time.

Running since 1983, St. Josef's Grapestomping Festival marks the start of crush season at this family winery founded by German immigrants Josef and Lilli Fleischmann. Visitors stomp grapes in a 1,200-gallon oak barrel (the equivalent of 5,000 bottles of wine), enjoy live German music from the Gordonaires, and feast on house-recipe sausages, homemade sauerkraut, pork shank dinners, and Bavarian crepes. Admission is $15 day-of and includes a souvenir glass and $5 wine credit.
