The 2014 Calaveas Grape Stomp Photos & Video
Murphys, CA....Our humble little tourist village of Murphys made an enchanting setting for the 21st Annual Calaveras Grape Stomp. After hundreds stompers, crushed tons of grapes the top three teams repeated from last year. The Grapeful Dead and The Wright Stuff have been battling and swapping positions in the finishing order for the last several years. We did hear that some of the fast rising teams will be reviewing and reviewing stomping footage to refine their crushing and stomping skills to go after the top spots next year...
Left to right: 1st: the Grapeful Dead (Dale & Jennifer Marcum); 2nd: The Wright Stuff (Brian & Greg Wright); 3rd: the Dwelley Devastors (Danny & Eddie Dwelley)

The event drew stomping teams from all over California and even the UK and Sweden to try their stomping prowess.
Produced by the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance, the Calaveras Grape Stomp, held in conjunction with the Gold Rush Street Faire, is a unique, fun- filled day for the whole family. Proceeds from the Calaveras Grape Stomp support local community groups.
At the Grape Stomp, teams of two, a Swabber (sometimes called a Mucker) and a Stomper compete to try and stomp the most juice out of measured amounts of wine grapes. An experienced panel of experts precisely weighs the juice, and prizes are awarded to all the winners.
There are special prizes for the top finishers in the Championship Stomp. Teams are encouraged to appear in costume (like we could prevent it anyway) and prizes are awarded for costumes based on originality, design, and effort. But there's more to the Grape Stomp than just the wanton destruction of two tons of perfectly good fruit. There's also a terrific silent auction where you can score some key bargains on Calaveras Wines, ski packages at Bear Valley, and other great items.
There's also a call auction offering amazing wine experiences at some of Calaveras' award-winning wineries, featuring fabulous gourmet dinners, vineyard tours, and a chance to rub shoulders with some of the leading winemakers in the Sierra Foothills. Proceeds support local community groups.
So make your plans now (for the 1st Saturday in October) to have some great food, award-winning wine, unique .... uh, entertainment, and a massive Street Faire, all in the picturesque and historic Gold Rush town of Murphys, CA.
