Saturday we got in the car and headed to Salvan Winery (about 45 minutes away) to meet up with friends for our very first grape stomping/winery tour!
The girls had a ball picking the grapes and stomping them.
Well...three out of four did. Lucy said "NO YIKE IT!" and refused to participate.
At the end of the day we sat at long tables in the vineyard and broke bread and drank wine with new and old friends.
It was kind of beautiful. A perfect Saturday.
Buona Giornata, sweet friends.

Looks like fun and something your girls won't forget. What wonderful pictures, and a great way to celebrate the end of an adventurous day. We just returned from Israel where we learned you stomp the grapes with your feet so as not to crush the seeds and make the juice or wine bitter.

I love the pictures! You do such a wonderful job of capturing those sweet expressive faces (I know you probably take 100 pictures just to get the 20 you showed on your blog). Thanks for sharing your story! Your family is blessed to have parents that want to adventure out and really experience the culture! Enjoy!

You are so blessed to be having this once in a lifetime adventure. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

That looks like so much fun. You are really immersing yourself in Italy I think - it's the full experience! Hope you have a good week. I need to pick grapes too, from the garden, but I don't think I'll be stomping them.

Priceless.

That is so awesome! Maybe Lucy will be a wine lover and cannot bare the thought of people's feet being near her wine...............I know I can't!!! Does look like fun though! Love the pics, the family pic is pure joy.

Ever since I watched a Walk in the Clouds I've wanted to do some grape stomping!Did it hurt at all? Looks like you all had a wonderful time =)
