On Saturday, October 10th, guests can enjoy a Vendor Village from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, food trucks on-site from Luv Thai, SmashMouth Burgers, and Fast Italian, and DJ Rupe spinning throughout the day, alongside the Grape Stomping festivities.

On Sunday, October 11th, the celebration continues with a Vendor Village from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, food trucks on-site from Fast Italian and Luv Thai, and DJ Rupe returning to keep the energy going, along with more Grape Stomping.

Sip. Stomp. Shop. Eat. Whether guests are coming for the wine, the music, the shopping, or the chance to squish grapes the old-fashioned way, this two-day festival has become a fall tradition for the Delmarva Peninsula.

Admission is free; grape stomping requires ticket purchase and includes a commemorative t-shirt. For more information and to purchase Grape Stomping tickets, visit www.saltedvines.com/calendar/upcoming-events/regular/4661-grapetoberfest-2026
