Grape Stomping Tips

  • Dress for the mess. You're not going to the prom. You're smashing grapes with your feet in Texas Wine Country. For this winery visit, wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting grape juice on. Be sure to bring a pair of sandals or flip-flops to change into once you've rinsed the grapes from your toes.
  • Let's get physical. Don't tiptoe, stomp! It will get messy but that's just part of the fun. Hulk-out on those grapes. Squish them between your toes. It's the adult, socially acceptable way to play with your food...or to jump into puddles.
  • Sip on some Texas wine. No, not the grape juice in the tub. Sip on some delicious Texas wine from a proper wine glass. The area offers everything from sweet whites to dry reds, and everything in between. Fredericksburg is home to more than 75 different wineries. Enjoy the child-like fun while sipping on some great wine.
  • Capture the moment. Stomping on grapes is a moment you'll want to remember. Make memories with friends and family as you take turns making purple footprints on commemorative T-shirts. Be sure to share your photos on Instagram, and Facebook with the hashtags #FBGTX and #txwinecountry.
  • Have fun! Above all, celebrate the grape harvest season by having fun! Don't miss out on all of Fredericksburg's wineries, attractions, restaurants, lodging, and more!
