Crush events are a fun and relaxing way to spend a day..or two. What exactly are “Crush” events? Chances are, if you consider yourself a wine connoisseur, you probably already know exactly what we are referring to. If you don’t know, don’t worry, we got you covered!

“Crush” events are usually a winery’s annual celebration of the harvest season of their grapes. To kick off the celebrations, they open their doors to wine tastings, activities, and more importantly the satisfying “crushing” of the grapes. Much like the famous I Love Lucy scene with Lucille Ball stomping on the grapes barefooted, we too can join in on the fun!

Nowadays, they have everything from culinary treats to music and even meeting the growers themselves. Boasting a numerous amount of wines, “Crush” events are a blast to enjoy. Check out a few notable “Crush” events below.
