Grape Stompin' Fun


Arianna, stomping grapes.


This past Saturday, we were invited to a neighbor's house for their own grape festival.  These neighbors are in their 70's and have been holding this event for 30-some years, starting with an interest in wine-making, then growing their own grapes, to having a sizable home vineyard with excellent wine-making results.  My hubby was put to work providing manpower to haul grapes just cut off the vines up to the yard to be processed, and he and the girls got the chance to stomp grapes and crank the grape press.  This along with an outdoor potluck and water play for the little ones made for a wonderfully adventurous Saturday filled with fun and enjoyment.
