A Grape-Crushing Good Time

By Jamie Kauffold | Sept. 28, 2024

The grapes are growing and the wine is flowing on Old Mission Peninsula! A big highlight of Chateau Chantal’s free Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 5, is crushing grapes the old-fashioned way—with your feet! While you’re there, you may as well learn the basics of winemaking in a public cellar/vineyard tour, take part in a cork toss, browse the art fair, enjoy wine and food, and more! chateauchantal.com/harvest-festival
