1- Crush the competition with a grape stomp
Ponte Winery, South Coast Winery, Mount Palomar Winery, Wilson Creek Winery, Callaway Vineyard & Winery, and Lorimar Vineyards & Winery all offer seasonal public grape stomping experiences during harvest season (August & September). Wilson Creek Winery also offers team building grape stomping competitions with a bottle of wine to the first team that fills a bucket with grape juice.

Grape Escape offers team building hot air balloon rides. Groups will get several private charters (depending on group size) and launch into the air for multiple competitions.
