Limited Spots!
Saturday, September 13 | 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Join us for a celebration of the season in beautiful downtown Carlton during peak harvest! The highlight of the day is our lively Team Grape Stomp Competition, where teams compete in a fun and messy battle for grape-stomping glory. Kids can also join in with their very own Kids' Grape Stomp Competition.
The festivities don’t stop there! Enjoy music by PDX DJs, food by Park & Main and Blind Pig, and a vibrant selection of craft vendors (all vendor slots are filled). Sip and savor offerings from local wineries, breweries, and distilleries.
To purchase alcoholic beverages, adults can buy a Crush Cup (stemless, eco-friendly wine glass), which will include a tasting ticket to use at one of the many vendors that will be selling wine, spirits, and cider during the festival.
Event merchandise will also be available for purchase - stay tuned to see what’s in store!
Admission and parking are free throughout downtown Carlton. View the map below for open parking lots. There is also street parking available around town.
Make it a getaway! Extend your stay and explore nearby accommodations for a full wine country weekend experience.
Proceeds support local Yamhill-Carlton area charities and community causes.

Stomp Team Registration
The Carlton Business Association is pleased to announce that the Carlton Crush Festival has returned for 2025!
Registration is now open! We're accepting 4-person teams (you can still apply if you have 3 people, in which case one person will have to stomp twice during your allotted time). Each team will stomp for a total of 3 minutes, changing stompers every 45 seconds. Juice and crushed grapes will drain into a large bucket, which will be weighed. The teams with the heaviest buckets will advance to the final round.
Each team member will receive a complimentary Carlton Crush t-shirt, Crush Cup, and a tasting ticket for redemption at the festival.
STOMP TEAM REGISTRATION FEE: $200 per team
