Calaveras Grape Stomp & Gold Rush Street Faire
Murphys Community Park, Murphys, CA
![]()
The Calaveras Winegrape Alliance has run this barefoot grape-stomping competition in the Gold Rush town of Murphys since the early 1990s, billing it as California's oldest and largest grape stomp contest. Two-person teams, one stomper and one swabber, race to juice a half barrel of grapes while a Gold Rush Street Faire fills the rest of Murphys Community Park. It coincides with harvest season at the dozens of wineries along the Sierra foothills' Highway 4 wine trail.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
