The fifth annual Grape Stomp Sunday at Township 7 Vineyard and Winery saw the biggest turnout of teams yet. “It was by far the most susccessful one we’ve ever had, team attendance wise, costume wise and for overall enthusiasm,” said Langley manager Jason Ocenas. Approximately two tonnes of surplus Langley-grown grapes were stomped by 45 teams in five heats on Oct. 26. The winners of the timed events were the Wined Up Toys and the Five Bs. The best costume award went to the team Bewitches. The spirit award was given to the Stompin’ Toms. “They rewrote a Stompin’ Tom song… and gave it to the band to play,” Ocenas explained. The event will benefit Critter Care wildlife sanctuary but the figures haven’t been tallied yet. Ocenas said the winery intends to keep holding fun, community and charity events. The next up is a Nov. 30 open house to benefit the Langley Christmas Bureau. “We’re little but if we can do some little part to be able to give back, we will,” he said. He said each event brings out people who didn’t realize that there are vineyards here. Ocenas said the local wine industry has seen a boost in exposure through the Campbell Valley Wine Tour. Four local wineries take part.
