Have Fun Stomping Grapes

Does stomping grapes with your bare feet sound like fun? If Lucy can stomp grapes, so can you! Maybe you've seen the hilarious grape stomp video of Lucy stomping grapes during an episode of "I Love Lucy".

It's been a long time since grapes have been crushed by foot. Today they are carefully crushed using the latest technology. Regulations prohibit any juice from the old fashioned grape stomps from being used to produce wine.

You'll find grape stomps are still popular during the harvest season, from August through October in California. Get ready to squish some Zinfandel between your toes!
