St Josef’s Grapestomping Festival
Sept 23rd & 24th 2023!
The Northwest’s Original Grapestomping
Our 41st Annual!
Before there were micro brews and Starbucks in Oregon, there was the St Josef’s Grapestomping Festival!
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.
