Wine is fine, roses I can take in doses, but a StompOff...now that's a friggin' party! Come to this annual festival held at the Messina Hof Winery & Resort every April and cheer on teams of grapestompers who compete to become the Grapestomping Champions of the Western World. Or shed your shoes and try to fill a 750 ml. bottle faster than the pros.

If your experience with grapestomping is little to nil, just get in there and creatively stomp (maybe to the tune of "I Can't Drive 55") your way to the Form title. Don't worry, Messina Hof does not use these grapes in their wine.
