Would you like to take a dive into the past? The grape harvest is one of the most important times of the year. Usually it starts in September, when the grapes are ready to be picked and at this moment we select only the best grapes that will go into our wines. Grape stomping is an ancient and traditional method to extract the juice from the grapes to allow the fermentation process to begin. Of course this practice is not typically used anymore because of new technologies that are more efficient. The activity is perfect for all ages!
