“Crush Me, Squeeze Me, Make Me Wine” Beach Festival

Westport Winery will host the annual Crush Me, Squeeze Me, Make Me Wine at the Beach Festival on Sunday, October 5 from noon to 4.p.m. The winery will provide bins of grapes for guests of all ages to stomp into purple-footed bliss with winemaker Dana Roberts at the production cellar. The annual Lucy and Ethyl Look-A-Like Contest will be held at 3 p.m. in the tasting room. All ages are encouraged to enter.

Merlot grapes from the renowned Two Blondes Vineyard near Zillah will be hauled in just prior to the event. This will mark the winery’s eighth harvest since its founding in 2008. They haul over 60 tons of grapes to Grays Harbor annually with about 20 trips to Eastern Washington each September and October.
