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.

01

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.

02

Follow the Crush

See the grapes become juice.

The playful stomp connects to the real process of harvest as fresh juice is collected, examined and weighed with the group.

03

Finish With Hamilton Wine

A toast to the mess you made.

Settle in after the stomp for your selected Hamilton tasting, still wearing a little evidence of the harvest experience.

Made for Sharing

The kind of wine-country stop everyone remembers.

Private grape stomps work especially well for groups looking for something more personal and interactive than another traditional tasting.

01

Wine Tour Itineraries

A memorable stop that fits the day.

Crush & Taste was created to fit comfortably alongside other winery visits and lunch, without taking over an entire wine-country itinerary.

02

Celebrations

Birthdays, reunions and milestone weekends.

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

03

Friends and Family

More interactive than a traditional tasting.

A playful private experience for family trips, friend getaways and bachelorette weekends during harvest season.

04

Corporate and Private Groups

A relaxed way to connect.

Give colleagues, clients or private guests something hands-on and distinctly Sonoma, with custom group arrangements available by quote.
