Festival Event Schedule

The events kick off on Friday evening inside the walls of the Barracks with the Patrons’ Night Gala. Guests are treated to fine wines from many of the local wineries, and a large assortment of foods from the restaurants and shops around the valley. Saturday morning starts off the weekend festivities in the plaza with the Blessing of the Grapes, a long standing tradition to the festival, followed by local residents reenactment of the raising of the California Bear Flag and the famous Grape Stomp competition. Sunday morning is the annual Vintage 5K Run-Walk, this year with the inaugural Tiny Tracks race for kids, followed by the Wedding of General Vallejo’s Daughters reenactment, the popular Vintage Festival Parade and then more grape stomping action! There are also two stages with live music running throughout the festival.
