Stomp A Grape

If you have ever wanted to stomp on a grape or let your inner Lucy Ricardo out, do we have an event for you.

This Saturday, from noon to 5:00, Irvin-House Vineyards hosts the 12th Annual Grape Stomping Festival, including a Lucy Look-A-Like contest. Go squish some muscadine grapes, or better yet, do it dressed as Lucy.

Food options will include Chucktown Mobile Seafood, Costal Crust, Home Team BBQ, Korki’s Cafe, Sweet Lulu’s Bakery, Old Salt Gourmet Pretzels, King of Pops, and Ben & Jerry’s.  Music will be provided by Rawberry Jam and Pierce Edens. There will also be wine tastings, as well as the offerings of Firefly Distillery.

Kids’ activities include face painting, jump castles and more.

It’s a relative bargain at $10.00 per car. So break out the clown car and head out to Wadmalaw Island.

You will find the Irvin-House Vineyard at at 6775 Bears Bluff Road on Wadmalaw.
