Is there any better way celebrate the annual harvest of grapes than at a beautiful vineyard in North Carolina during its annual Grape Stomp Festival? We think not! So save the date, make your plans, load up the car, and head to Columbus, North Carolina, on September 4th to visit the Russian Chapel Hills Winery for a family-oriented event sure to be the highlight of your weekend.
The annual Grape Stomp Festival was cancelled last year so there's a lot to catch up on, celebration-wise, in 2021.
Russian Chapel Hills Winery's acres and acres of grape vines are the source of the day's pleasure.

And if you're unfamiliar with how the winery got its name, you'll be enthralled by the tiny, wooden Russian chapel built at the top of the hill. From its perch it seems to oversee and bestow a particular blessing over the crop each year.
The kiddos, in particular, will love this event. But you know you'll want to get in on the action, too. And don't worry, you'll be able to wash your feet afterward...
The annual Grape Stomp Festival also features live music, arts and crafts (including live demos by potters, other artists, and jewelers), a wine lottery, hayrides for the entire family, and evening activities that include a gala and disco dancing.
It's 52 miles from Asheville and only 80 miles from Charlotte.
Gates open at 2:00 p.m. and the event runs until 11 p.m. Tickets for the annual Grape Stomp Festival at $10 for kids age 13 and over, $40 for adults, and kids 12 and under are free. Purchase tickets here. Learn more about Russian Chapel Hills Winery here.
