Rose Hill, North Carolina

For over 40 years, the friends and family at Duplin Winery have stomped grapes. Once to make wine and now just for fun! Join us for our 43rd Annual Grape Stomp celebration on Saturday, September 14th from 1pm to 6pm in Rose Hill, North Carolina. There will be live music you can dance to, exclusive wine tastings and a grape stomping contest. Festival-goers get a chance to stomp grapes with their bare feet and the best ones will have an opportunity to participate in a stomp off for a Duplin prize!

Throughout the afternoon, special vineyard, production facility tours and exclusive wine tastings are available for attendees. Our tastings fill up quickly, so make sure to purchase your wine tasting in advance.
The Bistro Restaurant will be open on a first come first serve basis with extended hours, as well as have a food tent at the festival.

Don’t forget your chairs for your own comfort but most of all, don’t forget your dancing shoes so you can get your shag on!
