A Rochester Tradition
Three Decades of Purple Feet
For thirty years, families across Western New York have closed out the summer in our vineyard rows. The festival began as a simple harvest celebration and grew into one of the region's defining September weekends.
The barrels still come out. The grapes still stain. And the next generation still climbs in to stomp their first batch, just as their parents once did.
What to Expect
Festival Activities
A full day of family-friendly fun at the vineyard. From grape stomping to live music, there's something for everyone.
Grape Stomping
Roll up your pants, hop in the barrel, and stomp grapes the old-fashioned way. Compete for bragging rights and purple feet!
Grape Pie Eating Contest
A fan-favorite tradition. Watch (or enter!) as contestants race to finish a fresh grape pie — hands only, of course.
Vineyard Wagon Rides
Take a scenic wagon ride through our 40+ acres of vineyards and learn about the growing season from our team.

Go behind the scenes with guided winery tours and sample our award-winning wines at tasting stations throughout the grounds.
