About the event
A collaborative event with the Amador Vintners Association, Big Crush is a weekend dedicated to the celebration of grape harvest!
Big Crush is the perfect time to see harvest in action, and this year will be no exception! With over 45 participating wineries, ticket holders can expect to see an array of behind the scenes harvest experiences, from barrel tasting, and winery tours, to seeing crush in action at Amador’s many family-owned wineries.
On the day of the event, arrive at your selected starting winery by 11:00 AM for check-in where you’ll be greeted with a commemorative wine glass and an event map. The map will guide you through the weekend, highlighting various harvest experiences, wine, food, and live music available throughout the region. Choose which wineries to visit based on recommendations or your own spontaneity! At the end of the event, you can turn in your map to be entered into a raffle for a chance to win exciting prizes. Enjoy a weekend filled with wine tasting, entertainment, and memorable experiences!
WHat we’re doing

We've got live music by the Darby Brothers to keep the grooves flowin' and our wood-fired oven will be pumpin' out pizzas, along with cheese & charcuterie available for purchase.
