Callaway's Annual Harvest Festival and Grape Stomp event is our most popular event and is always a sell-out!
Join us as we celebrate the harvest season with our traditional grape stomp. The event features live entertainment provided by Temecula's own, the JD Priest Band, grape stomping and other wine related competitions, Callaway wine, a gourmet buffet and a silent auction with many wonderful offerings.
Bring the kids along to the 11:00 a.m. event; they'll have a blast competing against you in grape stomp competitions. If you're looking for an adult only event, be sure and register for the 5:00 p.m. event (adults over 21 only).
In addition to celebrating harvest and stomping grapes, we've joined forces with The Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes (CSAH) to honor our heroes, raise awareness for the Coalition’s mission and raise funds for their necessary work. The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes was created to provide a way for individuals, corporations and others to support our troops by helping severely wounded and disabled Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and their families rebuild their lives.
A portion of the ticket sales and 100% of the silent auction proceeds will benefit CSAH.

This series of seminars with Callaway's Winemaker, Craig Larson, will take you on a journey through various topics of winemaking and will include hands on instruction on vineyard management, the harvest and crush processes, fermentation, barrel aging and even how to taste, serve and store wines. You will also “adopt a vine” for the length of the course, track it’s growth and learn how to harvest and prune your vine when you attend the entire series. You are sure to taste lots of wonderful Callaway wine and we guarantee that it will be fun and interesting along the way!
A Taste of Autumn
October 23, 2010
Autumn is the time for harvest. Take part in the experience as you pick grapes in the vineyard and help with the crush process. The winemaker will also discuss the importance of the use of barrels in winemaking with a focus on topics such as how barrels are made, toasted and used to impart wonderful flavors and aromas to both red and white wines, the various parts of a barrel, sizes and names of the barrels and the differences between French and American oak. You will taste wine from the barrel, followed by a tasting of several Callaway red wines. This tasting will be accompanied by an assortment of wonderful artisan cheeses and seasonal fruit. We send you home with a wine bottle cheese board and knife set, a Callaway Wine and Cheese Pairing chart with serving suggestions and a certificate of completion.
A Taste of Winter
January 22, 2011
In Winter it’s time to prune the vines for their winter nap. Craig will take you into the vineyard and teach you why pruning is good for the vine, how to prune correctly and what to consider before snipping away. This instruction will be followed by a relaxed tasting in the Chardonnay Room where topics like how to serve and store wines will be discussed. In addition various bottle sizes and shapes will be viewed and you will learn what their shapes can tell you about the wine that’s in them. We finish this series of seminars with a delightful tasting of our sparkling and dessert wines as well as our tawny port. We will be pairing these wines with dessert, of course! We send you home with a bottle of Callaway wine, two wine glasses, a collection of dessert recipes that pair well with Callaway wines and a certificate of completion.
A Taste of Spring
Date TBD
We begin the series of seminars with a "Meet and Greet Continental Breakfast with the Winemaker". After breakfast, you will take a walk into the vineyard where you will "adopt a vine" by selecting and tagging the vine with your name. Winemaker, Craig Larson, will talk about the varietals that we grow at Callaway, the terroir, the grapevine and it's growing cycle, trellising and upcoming treatments that will be done during this phase of the growth cycle. You will attend a wine tasting on the patio and learn specific tasting techniques used to evaluate wines. You will learn how to rate color, clarity, aroma, taste, body and finish of the wines you taste which will include one unfiltered wine and several finished white wines. Take home an aroma wheel, a collection of recipes that pair with Callaway white wines and Certificate of Compeltion.
A Taste of Summer
Date TBD
The Summer seminar is all about fermentation and the winemaking process. The day begins with a guided tour of our production facility with the winemaker. Craig will discuss some of the decisions that go into making wine and demonstrate some of the procedures and chemical analysis that are done in the lab and their effects on the final product. Following your tour you will learn all about rosés. How they are made, how they get their color and how they taste, as we conduct a rosé flight tasting in the lab. The heat of Summer is upon us so this seminar is followed by a casual lunch and nice cool glass of your favorite rosé. This seminar includes a very educational DVD , a collection of recipes that pair well with Callaway rosés and a certificate of completion.
