St JOSEF’S Grapestomping Festival
The NW’s original harvest celebration!

St Josef’s Grapestomping Festival

Saturday Sept 21 & Sunday Sept 22 2025!

A great tradition of German Style Wines, Food & Music and 42 years of Stomping!

Before there were micro brews and Starbucks in Oregon, there was the St Josef’s Grapestomping Festival! The festival started in 1983 when there were less than 30 wineries in Oregon. Proprietors, Josef & Lilli who emigrated from Germany, wanted to pass on a little bit of the harvest spirit to the burgeoning Oregon wine industry. Since running a vineyard and winery is a lot hard work, they believed it was important to start the busy crush season off with a lighthearted approach. With lively music, local foods and of course, stomping grapes in a barrel. It has grown to stomping next to a 1200 gallon Oak barrel that holds 3,000 bottles of wine, lively music and locally made foods in a casual, relaxed European atmosphere.

Saturday & Sunday – The Great German Band from Vancouver BC- the Gordonaires plays the Ompaa music from 1:ish-4:30.
Grape Stomping happens all day from 12:45-4:30.

$15 at the door includes a souvenir glass

Do you have bottles of wine to enjoy?
Yes- we have will have wines available by the glass and bottle, including our German Style Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sparkling Riesling and Spate Burgunder! Along with our other estate grown wines, plus beer, water and non-alcoholic beverages.

Is there food available?
Yes- many options for you to enjoy!
> Wood Fired Pizza from Crust Pizza
> Local German-Style Sausages served up by our friends @ the Canby Boosters
> Chocolate Truffle Treats made by the Truffle Shuffle of Salem
> Bavarian Style Pretzels from B’s Bakery

If you’re food persnickety you can have lunch before the event at several local places that serve our wines- including Filberts Farmhouse, Markum Inn & Cutsforth Thriftway.
