Feel the
squish of the grapes in the time-honored tradition of grape stomping as you
help celebrate the grape and farm winery industries in Kansas. The Kansas
Department of Agriculture will host the 15th annual Kansas Grape Stomp on
Saturday, Sept. 11, at 1:00 p.m. on the Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System
Stage at Lake Talbott at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.
Gather around the
grape tubs to watch state and local agriculture leaders and others stomp grapes
to salute the Kansas grape and farm winery industries. The competitive
stomp-off will kick off the event and an open stomp for all Kansas State Fair
attendees will follow.
As of September
2021, there are 59 farm wineries throughout Kansas.
KDA is committed to
advocating for and promoting the agriculture industry, the state’s largest
industry, employer and economic contributor, and encourages all fairgoers to
attend the grape stomp to have fun while learning about the grape and farm
winery industries in Kansas.
