Purple Feet & Dirty Roots

October 5, 2015 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Okanagan is well know for it’s wine culture, and behind that reputation is a rich history of wine production. To celebrate the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival, Kelowna Museums is hosting a tour of the BC Wine Museum followed by an old fashioned “Wine Stomp” in the historic Laurel Packinghouse.
The tour of the wine museum will give you an overview of the history of wine manufacturing in the Okanagan. Following the tour, get your feet dirty and join us for a wine stomp! Grape-stomping (also known as pigeage) is part of method of maceration used in traditional winemaking. Rather than using a wine press or other mechanized method, grapes were crushed by foot in vats to release their juices and begin fermentation. This event will connect to you to the spirit & heritage of our local wine history. Join us for this free, fun, and informative event!
