Head to Great Bear Vineyards for the Join the Rosé Harvest! event on Saturday, September 7, from 10am to 2pm. Experience the excitement of harvest season as you pick and stomp grapes, learn about winemaking, and enjoy a fun-filled day. Start with a welcome glass of bubbly before heading to the vineyard to pick grapes at 10:30am, followed by a classic grape stomp at 11am, just like in the movies! The day continues with a behind-the-scenes winery tour, barrel tasting, and a delicious harvest lunch with a glass of wine. We recommend casual clothing, sunscreen, and closed shoes for grape picking—flip-flops are ideal for the post-stomp feet washing ceremony. Finish the day with an optional formal wine tasting or purchase a bottle to enjoy on-site.
