St Josef's Grapestomping Festival

Before there were micro brews and Starbucks, there was the St Josef’s Grapestomping Festival!

Join us for great wines, German food & music and harvest festival spirit! And stomping the grapes too!
The festival started in 1983 when there were less than 30 wineries in Oregon. Proprietors, Josef & Lilli who emigrated from Germany, wanted to pass on a little bit of the harvest spirit to the burgeoning Oregon wine industry. Since running a vineyard and winery is a lot of hard work, they believed it was important to start the busy crush season off with a lighthearted approach. It all began with lively music, local foods and of course, stomping grapes in a barrel. It has grown to stomping next to a 1200-gallon Oak barrel that holds 3,000 bottles of wine, great music & locally made foods in a casual, relaxed European atmosphere.

Great wines, music and harvest spirit.  Grapestomping held throughout the day along with wines by the glass and bottle (and beer for the non-believers). Local German foods available plus tours with the winemaker.  Save 20% on advance admission or have a VIP stomping experience.
