Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery is thrilled to announce the return of its 4th Annual Grapetoberfest on Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, 2025. This free, family-friendly celebration promises two full days of wine, food, live entertainment, vendor shopping —and, of course, grape stomping.

Grape Stomping
Nothing says harvest like grape stomping! Each registered stomper will receive a commemorative Grapetoberfest t-shirt to remember the fun. Stomping is always a festival highlight—whether you’re in the barrel or cheering from the crowd. Tickets are required for stomping and can be purchased in advance here: saltedvines.com/calendar/grapetoberfest
