Grape Stomping: A Sensory Journey to the Past

Ready to Immerse Yourself in Harvest Season in a Unique Way? Try Grape Stomping!

Imagine being in the midst of a sun-drenched vineyard, surrounded by hills covered with vines that stretch as far as the eye can see. The sweet aroma of fresh grapes fills the air as you prepare to take part in an ancient winemaking tradition: grape stomping.

What is Grape Stomping and Why Should You Experience It? Grape stomping is a centuries-old ritual that is a part of harvest season, the time for grape picking for wine production. In this activity, barefoot harvesters immerse themselves in tubs filled with freshly harvested grapes and stomp on them with their feet, releasing their juice and essence. It’s not just a step in the wine-making process; it’s an experience that pays homage to the roots of viticulture.
