Calaveras Grape Stomp Celebrates 23rd Anniversary October 1, 2016! Don't Miss All The Action
Murphys, CA...The Calaveras Grape Stomp, held in conjunction with the Gold Rush Street Faire, is a unique, fun-filled day for the whole family. Stompers! Check your Starting Times!!At the Grape Stomp, teams of two - a Swabber (sometimes called a Mucker) and a Stomper compete to extract the most juice out of measured amounts of wine grapes. The juice is precisely measured and prizes are awarded to all the winners, with special prizes for the top finishers in the Championship Stomp. And, new this year, every team gets their very own Stomp Bag of Swag!Teams are encouraged to appear in costume, or not, and prizes are awarded for costumes based on originality, design, and effort.But there’s a lot more to the Grape Stomp than the wanton destruction of two tons of perfectly good grapes.
The Silent Auction this year is slimmed down and buffed up, but wait, there’s more -- you could win a 10-day trip to Australia (or New Zealand, you choose) in the new Great Grape Stomp Raffle! Proceeds from the Grape Stomp support local community groups.So make plans now to come have some great food, enjoy award-winning Calaveras wine, the huuuge Street Faire, and of course take in the best Grape Stomp in California.
