Get to Grape Smashing This Weekend in Ulster County

Hudson Valley's own Benmarl Winery is hosting their annual Grape Stomping Festival this weekend, October 8 and 9, 2016, 11AM to 7PM. If you were unable to make it to their September Stomps, here is another chance.

Tickets are $20 to 'stomp' this weekend. The ticket price includes, of course, getting the chance to stomp grapes, sampling local wines and dancing to live music. Admission to the stomp also includes a souvenir wine glass, samples of up to 6 different wines and a tour of the winery. Food will also be available for purchase at the winery during the event. If you are a Benmarl Wine Club member then you can get two admissions for free. Designated driver? No problem, DD tickets are $10 and can be purchased upon arrival at the winery.The stomp will take place rain or shine.

Have you ever stomped grapes? Do you have any tips for us to make the day even better?
