Crush Festival

August 15, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 9:00 pm CDT

From vine to glass, harvest season is the most magical time of year at St. James Winery.
Join us for Crush Festival! A celebration of the grape harvest, the winemaking process, and the people who bring it all to life. 🍇✨

 

Food Specials:
🐔🍇 Grilled Chicken & Grape Kabobs
Chicken and grapes, marinated in a garlic lemon rosemary marinade, grilled and caramelized for a sweet, savory, and juicy summer bite.

🥩 Beef Kofta
Ground beef with Mediterranean spices and fresh herbs, molded around skewers then grilled and glazed with a grape jelly BBQ sauce. Will remind you of Mom’s grape jelly BBQ meatballs.
