“This is more than a harvest event — it’s a celebration where memories are made, one grape, one stomp and one taste at a time,” said Marc Adrar, general manager of The Estate Yountville. The festival is designed for wine lovers and families alike, showcasing the best of Napa Valley through wines, food, music and engaging activities.
Highlights include a hands-on Grape Stomp Experience where guests can stomp grapes the traditional way, live music, a Napa-style barbecue and tastings from small-production artisan vintners. Families are welcome: children can enjoy face painting and lawn games while adults sample local wines and savor barbecue offerings.
Tickets are priced at $100 per adult, which includes unlimited barbecue bites and a commemorative T-shirt. Children ages 4 to 12 are admitted for $65. The festival provides an opportunity to meet local winemakers, taste limited-production wines and soak up the scenic valley atmosphere.
