Here’s a run-down on this year’s event:

• Music by “Mood” and the unique, move those feet, sounds of The Opal Springs Boys
• If you feel like making some great juice, destined to be medal winning wine (every year, Tootsie, the wine we’ve made with stomped grapes, has medalled in the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!), we’ll have picking bins loaded with luscious grapes ready for your svelte toes to stomp!

Admission is:
• $20 with the Romp and a logo glass.
• Or, $10 admission without the Romp and glass.
• And, kids get in free (they must be accompanied by an adult).
*Advance Purchase Discount: Up to five days preceding the event, you’ll receive 10% off of the admission price. Tickets are available by calling 541-546-5464, by visiting our Winery, and at the door on the day of the event.

Stomp Contest
• This will be an adult competition showing off what makes you a magnificent stomper.
• Inside a barrel, you’ll be stomping grapes to extract as much juice as possible from those fine berries.
• Run as a tournament, this will be $5 per person for entry. The idea is to stomp out more juice than your competitors.
• Prizes will be awarded to those of you who stomp out the most juice.
• Once again, we’ll be donating proceeds of the Stomp contest to a local nonprofit. This year, they’ll go to the Redmond Concert Association. They bring incredible musical talent to Central Oregon at very reasonable prices so that kids and adults alike, can experience world class musical talent. And, they also award scholarships annually to kids wanting to pursue musical education in college.

Speaking of kids, we’ll have recreational activities and a recreation coordinator to make it a fun day for all.

Food available for purchase. There will be the usual cheese, charcuterie, olives, chocolates, etc. And, for the event, we’ll also be roasting a pig!

We’ll also have local beer, wine, cold brew coffee and soft drinks for purchase.

For all you water drinkers, the water will be available free – and this is good water, we’re talking Opal Springs turf here! So, please don’t bring drinks or food with you (outside goodies for picnicking won’t be allowed); we’ll have it all here for you.

There will be some seats available, but as they will fill up fast, we encourage you to bring lawn chairs and blankets to make yourself comfortable on our spacious lawn.

And, although we love our pets too, we’re a working farm with free range chickens, our own work dogs to protect them and our vineyard, so please no pets (with the exception of “service dogs” which are not considered pets).
