The Annual Julian Grape Stomp Festa is on September 5th, 2026, Saturday from 11am to 5pm at Menghini Winery in Julian.
Get ready and be excited in continuing the old-world tradition of kicking off your shoes, rolling up your pant legs and letting tons of blessed grapes squish beneath your feet!
Julian’s Grape Stomp is a great way to spend a Saturday and this year’s is shaping up to be one of the best. With eleven local wineries offering sips to sample, a wide variety of food and shopping opportunities, great Italian music provided by Roman Holiday, Bocce Ball contests, a “Lucy Look-Alike” contest, the ever popular “Trash My Wedding Dress” event and, undoubtedly, a little extemporaneous dancing here and there, this will be a party to remember!
Treat yourself to a VIP experience that includes reserved parking, admission, a fast-pass to the stomping vat, comfortable seating in the VIP tent and a delicious meal from one of the many food vendors for only $50. General admission tickets are $15.
