Costume and grape stomping contests are held each day with a theme for Saturday. Tickets are required for all alcoholic drinks and are valid on any festival day. NEW! NEW! Shuttles will also be available on Saturdays only from Carlos State Park and Runestone Community Center, as well as the Slumberland Furniture Parking Lot. If you prefer to drive, there is plenty of parking available on site.

If you don't like to wait, you can take the shuttle, attend on Friday or on Sunday, or just chill until 7:00, then get in your car.

PLEASE NOTE: PETS AND COMPANION ANIMALS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO THE FESTIVAL.

No kids or babies on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is All Ages. On Sunday, children 6 and under are free.

Over 300 teams will step on over 10,000 pounds of grapes during the three-day festival. This is a lot of feet in purple! The "stomper", who is inside the barrel, and the "juicer", who stands below to guide the juice out of the barrel, make up a team. At a time, eight teams compete. The winning teams receive the "We Stomped, we Won" T-Shirts, and they advance to the Grand Championship Round held at the conclusion of each day. Grand Champions receive a CCW Favorites case!
