St Josef's Grapestomping Festival
2019-09-22 12:00 - 17:00 | St Josef’s Winery, 28836 S Barlow Rd, Canby, OR, 97013, United States
On Saturday, September 21st and Sunday, September 22nd, St Josef’s Winery will be celebrating its 37th Annual Grapestomping Festival. One of Oregon’s Wine Pioneers, St Josef’s originated their fun harvest festival back in 1983 when there were less than 30 wineries in Oregon; now there are over 700. The festival includes great wines, German music, house recipe sausage & kraut, and of course, lots of Grapestomping. The festival began before the first micro-breweries were in Oregon and is the Northwest’s Original Grapestomping Event!
The Grapestomping started as proprietors, Josef & Lilli Fleischmann who emigrated from Germany, wanted to pass on a some harvest spirit to the burgeoning Oregon wine industry. Since working the vineyards and running a winery is a lot hard work, they believed it was important to start the busy “crush” season with a lighthearted approach. With lively music, local foods and of course, stomping grapes in a barrel. It has grown to stomping in a 1200 gallon Oak barrel that holds the 20,000 glasses of wine, live music and house made foods in a casual, relaxed European atmosphere.
In addition to Grapestomping contests held throughout the day, the ‘Z-Musik Makers’ a great six-piece German Band will be performing from 1pm to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Food includes St Josef’s own special house recipe German sausages & homemade sauerkraut, along with other locally made foods. New vintages and special reserve wines will be available by the glass, plus tours with the winemaker and tastings will occur throughout the day.

“Michael Powers, the Seattle jazz guitarist, who just gets better all the time.”
The Seattle Times
“There are TWO types of people. Those who love Michael Powers’ music, and those who have not yet heard it!”
The Review
“Michael Powers’ music seamlessly and simultaneously honors the past, celebrates the present and fearlessly reaches into the future!”
“Michael Powers has established himself among a new breed of guitarists and composers who, with each album and every performance, continually redefines the guitars’ role in the jazz context. His technique is stunning, but he never employs it at the expense of the musicality of the melodic line. Blues has always been at the core of Michael’s inspiration and expression.”
