Texas Hill Country Grape Stomp Events for 2024

The grape harvest season is a fantastic time to cross something off your bucket list – if stomping on grapes to get purple feet is your bucket item! Grape stomping is fun if you’ve never done it before (so I hear, I haven’t done it yet). Texas wine lovers will appreciate stomping the very grapes that they drink!

Make it a true getaway and check out Fredericksburg, TX, wine tours and lodging, a Texas wine Bed and breakfast place, or any of the hotels in Fredericksburg. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at any place you decide to stay; after all, it’s the Texas Hill Country – where everything is a scenic journey!
