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

St Josef’s  Grapestomping Festival

Saturday Sept 26 & Sunday Sept 27 2026! 

A great tradition for over 40 years!

German Music, German Style Wines, German Food & Beer and lots of Grape 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.

Day of Event Tickets are $15 per person and include a souvenir glass and $5 credit for wine to take home! 

Can we stomp the grapes?
Yes! This year you can even reserve a spot to have a team of four make an advance reservation to stomp grapes- (two stompers, one holder/spotter and one container tipper).  We will also be looking for more Grapestomping volunteers throughout the day. (stompers need to be 21+) And everyone will be able to get a picture of their feet in the grapes.

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!
>   Sunday Pork Shank dinner for Two
>   Local German Sausages
>   Chocolate Truffle Treats made by the Truffle Shuffle of Salem
>   Bavarian Style Crepes from Ruby’s

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.
