Grape Stomp Returns to Oliver

Grape Stomp Returns to Oliver with High-Energy Harvest Fun for All Ages

Registration is now open for 30 teams to stomp on September 21st, 2025

Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country is thrilled to announce the return of its popular Grape Stomp to the 2025 Festival of the Grape, taking place on Sunday, September 21st, 2025 at the Oliver Community Park in Oliver, B.C. This crowd-favourite competition promises a wildly entertaining afternoon of grape-squishing, team spirit and creative costumes – plus the popular, and free, Youth Stomp for younger participants.

Registration is now open for 30 teams of three to compete in a fast-paced, three-minute challenge to crush as many grapes as possible. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams that produce the most grape juice, along with accolades for the best costumes.

“There’s something magical about celebrating harvest season in the South Okanagan”, says Jennifer Busmann, executive director of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. “The Grape Stomp captures the heart of wine country – vibrant, welcoming and full of joy. With golden vines across the valley and the energy of community coming together, it’s the perfect way to toast to the season and share what makes this region so special.”

The Youth Stomp invites younger participants to get in on the action. Families can register for their youth’s complimentary ticket at oliverosoyoos.com, while supplies last.

Adult team registration costs $146.16 + tax and includes:
• Festival entry for three people
• Grape Stomp heats on stage
• Stomp souvenirs and treats from Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country

Registration is limited to 30 teams and typically sells out; early sign-up is recommended. Total cost for a team of three is $146.16 + tax. The deadline to register is Friday September 15th, 2025. To register, visit: oliverosoyoos.com/grape-stomp
