Five People You'll Meet at “Crush with US”
As the late summer sun shines over Virginia Wine Country's lush mountains and vineyards, it approaches the time for grape stomping at Bluemont Vineyard! Whether you're a wine-lover or just looking for a unique experience or someone who is looking for a fun-filled day out in the countryside, our yearly Crush with Us Event is for everyone!
Enjoy partaking in the age-old tradition of grape stomping! Steeped in tradition, this labor of wine has been passed down over the centuries. As time passed and modern machinery took over, this practice was a huge communal event and celebration which brought people together and forged connections. This hands-on (or should we say feet-on) approach celebrated the joy of family and community while ensuring the grapes were crushed to make wine. We enjoy keeping this tradition alive and open to all! So whether you are a local or a traveler passing through, we invite you to partake in this wine custom which has survived eons.
