Event Details

Don’t miss this year’s 19th Annual Grape Stomp and Harvest Festival at Fall Creek Vineyards, Saturday, August 16th and Saturday, August 23rd, from 11:00am to 5:00pm, both days at Fall Creek Vineyards. The annual “Grape Stomp” is a two-Saturday traditional favorite; full of fun and activity for all ages! With great anticipation and excitement, families enjoy winery tours, live local music on the vineyard patio, Castle Bounce, a play house, hayrides, chain-saw ice carving, and, of course, the excitement of your own “bare” feet grape stomping, “I Love Lucy”-style with the video playing, in wine barrels, all free of charge! Receive a free souvenir wine glass with wine tasting. No wonder Fall Creek’s Annual Grape Stomp & Harvest Festival is where YOU want to toast the harvest in the Texas Hill Country!
