The Public Grape Crush! From 09.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30pm

Roll up your pants and tuck up your skirts because it’s time for the general public to have a turn of the grape crushing fun!

Thanks to the incredible team at Balancing Heart Vineyard, everyone can get in on the grape-stomping fun. The parade of grape bearers arrives in Stanthorpe’s main street, the Italian music kicks in, the crowd claps along… and then — it’s time to CRUSH IT!

Feel the squish between your toes, the laughter in the air, and the spirit of the festival come alive. And don’t forget to grab your exclusive “Crushed It” 2026 shirt — the ultimate badge of honour for those brave enough to stomp their way into festival fame!

Grape Crush Shirt (only available online): $30
