Description
Come to Saratoga and Celebrate! While here, you can also challenge the best to see who can really stomp those grapes!
The 2012 Cinnabar Winery Grape Stomp Challenge will consist of teams of two persons each competing for the Grape Stomp Cup trophy. Each heat will be two minutes in duration, and each barrel will contain twenty (20) pounds of grapes.
One person, the Stomper, stands inside the barrel and stomps the grapes, and the other person, the Swabber, stands outside the barrel and catches the juice in the bucket(s) provided. The Swabber may also reach inside the barrel to assist the Stomper and ensure a free flow of juice through the screen and out the drain spout.
Teams are judged by the amount of juice, measured by weight, which accumulates in the buckets. Buckets must be immediately surrendered to Grape Stomp Staff at the conclusion of each Stomp.
A leader board will be maintained throughout the day. The #1 and #2 place teams will come back to compete in a Championship Stomp Off at 4 pm.
The winner of the Stomp Off will be deemed the winner of the 2012 Celebrate Saratoga/ Cinnabar Grape Stomp Challenge and will hold the trophy until next year’s challenge.
