Come
Stomp the Grapes Julian Style!
Julian Grape Stomp & Festa is held on September
6th, 2008,
from 11am-7pm,
at Menghini Winery, Julian.
Every September, Julian, one of San Diego County’s
popular wine tasting regions, celebrates the harvest
of the grapes with a real, olde-world style Grape
Stomp and Festa. This grape stomp out-does all
others by providing two barrels for stomping--one
for adults and one for children.
Tons of grapes are blessed then poured into the
barrels. The atmosphere is created by Italian music
by Roman Holiday, dancing, Bocci Ball competitions,
stomping, wine tasting (not included in entrance
fee), a Jumbo Jump for the kids and a variety of
food and crafts for sale will keep you busy.
Situated in rolling hills covered with vineyards and
apple orchards, the Menghini Winery offers an ideal
setting for the Festa.
The historic mountain village of Julian is situated
at an elevation of 4200 feet; visitors can
experience the four seasons in picture postcard
splendor, only about 1 hour from San Diego.
