Attending the Harvest Fair has been a tradition for both local and out of town guests.

Wine and food lovers from as far abroad as South America, India and even Australia, plan their visit to Santa Rosa each October, to sample the county’s bounty and participate in the wildly popular World Championship Grape Stomp.

This hilarious, action-packed competition can only be experienced at the Harvest Fair.

Teams of two (one stomper & one swabby) compete in the hope of being named the world’s greatest grape stomp team. The Stomper stands in a barrel full of grapes and squishes out the juice using their feet. The Swabby stands below the barrel and keeps the juice flowing into the jug, pulling grape skins away from the screen, and pushing juice toward the pipe.
