How It Unfolds

From first stomp to final pour.

The experience moves from playful participation to the real work of crush, then finishes with Hamilton wine and a story your group will be telling long after the grapes are gone.

Step Into Harvest

Shoes off. Grapes in. Cameras ready.

Your group steps into the barrels together for a hands-on grape stomp filled with movement, laughter and plenty of opportunities for photographs.

Birthdays, reunions and milestone weekends.

Bring the group together for an experience that naturally creates laughter, photographs and a shared story.

Friends and Family

More interactive than a traditional tasting.

A True Harvest Experience

Harvest sets the calendar.

Private grape stomps are offered only when the season, fruit and estate schedule allow us to create the experience properly.

Because every harvest unfolds differently, dates are confirmed individually rather than offered through instant online booking. Early inquiries provide the best opportunity to secure a preferred date.

Good to Know

Before your group steps into the grapes.

Every private stomp is confirmed directly with our team so we can account for the group, season and flow of the estate.

Is the grape stomp available year-round?

No. This is a true harvest-season experience and is offered only when grape availability, weather and the estate schedule allow.

What should guests wear?

Comfortable clothing is recommended, along with shoes that are easy to remove. Guests should wear something they do not mind giving a little harvest-season character.

Does the experience include wine tasting?

Yes. Crush & Taste includes an abbreviated tasting of three Hamilton wines. The Harvest Table includes a fuller five-wine tasting and seasonal kitchen board.

Can non-drinkers participate?

Yes. Non-drinkers are welcome to participate in the stomp. Please include that information with the inquiry so our team can plan appropriately.

Are children permitted?

Family groups may inquire about including children. Final arrangements depend on ages, group composition and the selected experience. Wine service is limited to guests age 21 and older.

What happens if the weather changes?

The experience depends on suitable outdoor and harvest conditions. If weather or vineyard needs affect the plan, our team will communicate available options directly.

Can groups larger than the listed package sizes attend?

Larger groups may be accommodated by custom quote, depending on the date, staffing requirements and property flow.

How are payment and cancellation terms handled?
