Make your own fun memories with friends this year for the 2023 Harvest and Grape Stomps.
Oh I remember this day! Some of my friends and I drove to Flat Creek Winery located in Marble Falls, Texas. Little did I know that this was grape harvest and stomping time AND they had a film crew there to document the event for Texas Highways Magazine. This was a professional photo taken for the magazine front cover. That was a fun day!
Grape stomp and harvest events happening at member wineries from late July through September. Below is the listing out many of these events at THCW wineries, including Messina Hof, Texas Wine Collective, Dry Comal Creek, Hye Meadow, Hawk’s Shadow, Westcave Cellars, Pedernales Cellars, Wildseed Farms Vineyards, Texas Hills Vineyards and more.
