Calaveras Winegrape Alliance Generates $11,300 at Annual Grape Stomp Auction to Benefit Students and Community Causes

Murphys, CA…Founded in 1989, the Calaveras Wine Alliance (CWA) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting wines crafted in Calaveras County and/or from Calaveras-grown grapes. We proudly represent local families producing some of California’s most distinctive wines in the historic Sierra Foothills.

The Calaveras Grape Stomp Competition began 31 years ago, created by local winery owners and grape growers to celebrate the harvest season while supporting the community.

Each year, the event features a silent auction to benefit local organizations, non-profits, and our high school scholarship program. Thanks to the generosity of businesses and community members, we raised $11,300 from this year’s event. These funds were used to award three scholarships to local students, with additional proceeds supporting 17 deserving organizations, including:

  • Angels-Murphys Rotary
  • Bret Harte FFA
  • Calaveras County Animal Shelter – Gimme Shelter
  • Calaveras County Search and Rescue
  • Calaveras FFA
  • Calaveras Senior Center
  • Calaveras Sheriff Volunteers
  • Cancer Strong
  • Feeney Park Foundation
  • Gold Country Young Farmers and Ranchers
  • Hospice of Amador and Calaveras
  • Klassen’s Turkey Trot
  • Murphys Community Club
  • Murphys Senior Center
  • Resource Connection
  • San Andreas Rotary
  • West Calaveras Rotary

We are deeply thankful for the community’s ongoing support, which allows us to make a meaningful impact on local students and organizations.

Join us for the 32nd Annual Calaveras Grape Stomp on Saturday, October 4, 2025. For information about participating in the event or donating to the annual auction, contact the CWA office at (209) 728-9467 or email info@calaveraswines.org.
