Daniel's Vineyard to Host Annual Grape Stomp

Daniel's Vineyard vineyard is a wonderful family destination with a multitude of things to enjoy while visiting. Located in McCordsville, Indiana it is just a short venture away from the tri-state. The big kids can enjoy wines, beers, and pizza while the little kids play games such as chess, and cornhole, or let loose some energy running around and exploring the hillside. The winery has weekly entertainment opportunities in the form of concerts, line dancing, and karaoke nights. There are still many upcoming family concerts at the vineyard including the Halloween Family Party Concert on October 12th.

What is Grape Stomping?

Grape stomping is the ancient method of grape crushing, a means to start fermentation. One of the earliest grape stomps recorded took place in the third century with the Romans. While in most cases, wineries opt for a more modern 'wine press' rather than this traditional method, a lot of winemakers say that the old ways are still the best. There are lots of bare feet involved in the madness so I'm sure questions about sanitization have come to mind. Due to the acidity, sugar content, and alcohol it ensures a balance conducive to safe consumption.
