September is California Wine Month and South Coast Winery and Carter Estate Winery both owned and operated by the Carter family, are enticing their wine-loving guests and fans to celebrate with special vineyard fun, hospitality, and wallet-friendly sales of award-winning rosés and more.
The celebration includes two options for their annual Grape Stomp (altered to accommodate safety and health protocols) – all happening during the month of September in the Vintner’s Garden of South Coast Winery Resort & Spa.

Also, there are great discounts offered at Everything’s Coming Up Rosés, and the 2020 Sale offers select wines at only $20 a bottle. These sales are being held to honor some of the best wines California has to offer.
Personal Grape Stomps will take place in South Coast Winery Resort & Spa’s Vintner’s Garden. The Grape Stomp is a fun, two-person activity, which requires one team member to be in the barrel stomping ripe grapes as the other team member collects the stomped grape juice in a bottle. Slots are limited to accommodate safety guidelines and proper hand and feet sanitization will apply. Fridays and Saturday at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m.; Sundays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Options for the event:
Personal Stomp Only for Two which includes one wine flight per person and a case of wine to take home*; price starts at $168 per couple, not including tax and gratuity.
Personal Stomp and Dinner, which includes a three-course dinner with wine pairings at The Vineyard Rose Restaurant and a case of wine to take home*; price starts at $338 per couple, not including tax and gratuity.
*Participants can choose which wines to fill their case.
