Austin, TX – Visitors to the Hill Country vineyards this summer are in for an exciting and unique wine harvest experience. In a burst of seasonal merriment, Hill Country wineries are offering grape stomping activities at their annual wine festivals. Texas Hill Country Wineries (THCW), an association that features more than 60 member wineries, encourages wine enthusiasts to maximize this hot summer season with a slew of engaging events.
The most iconic mark of the harvest season in the local winery scene is the grape stomps – handpicked striving for genuine happiness, turning precision into an enduring custom. With grape stomping, as long as anyone can stomp their bare feet in a bushel of grapes, then they’re fitting right into the festival’s charm.
To cater to their diverse audience, THCW has put together a list of six unique grape stomping events (plus a grape punching event for the adventurous ones) across several vineyards this summer. And while the primary activity is universal, each winery adds its own twist to the event.
In addition to these thrilling grape stomping occasions, THCW’s events calendar is flush with other compelling reasons to visit the Hill Country wineries this summer. Its comprehensive map showcases dozens of wineries scattered around Hill Country, offering sorting options based on age restrictions, wheelchair accessibility, and food availability, among other things.
