Grape Picking and Stomping Harvest Festival Saturday, October 10, 2026, 9:30am-2:30pm

Join us for one of the most fun days of the year. Our annual tradition of our Grape Picking & Stomping Harvest Festival starts in our Piazza where we hand you a mimosa, a bucket and pruners. We then walk as a big group to a ripe Cave B vineyard to hand harvest grapes for about 60-75 minutes, which is a neat experience and a great time. We then walk to the production facility so you can see how we sort and process the grapes you just picked to process into wine. Winemaker Freddy explains the wine making process, fermentation, yeast additions etc. You can even try your hand at a “punch down”! Wine and charcuterie will be enjoyed. We then head to a winemaker led wine tasting where all your wine questions can be answered. After that engaging tasting we walk back to the Piazza for live music and a delicious catered lunch. This is followed by our Grape Stomping Competition. This is a fun; feel good competition and prizes are awarded for the winners of each of the 3 heats. We have a wine club member heat, a non-member heat and a kid’s heat. It is a barrel of laughs, and you don’t want to miss it! We do tend to sell out fairly quickly so spread the word, tell your friends, family and co-workers and buy your tickets today. Tickets are NOT sold in the tasting rooms. They are only sold online here. Click on the poster for the link to the online store or click the link below. **Please note that each Cave B Wine Club member can only buy TWO tickets at the reduced ticket price per membership. We highly encourage you to bring friends, but they do need to purchase their ticket at the non-wine club member pricing.

Chumlilies, Saturday, October 10th, tickets required for our Grape Stomping & Picking harvest Festival

In the winter of 2019 in the Chumstick Valley some miraculous musical seeds were sewn. These seeds blossomed into the Chumlilies, a four piece string band. All members are vocalists, composers and multi-instrumentalists. Their original tunes swirl with rich harmonies, striking melodies, and vivid lyrics that draw inspiration from the mountains, rivers, plant friends, animal friends, and people friends of the Wenatchee Valley and the world beyond.

Sail the Legendary Rhine with One of Washington’s Most Acclaimed Winemakers

Freddy Arredondo, Cave B’s Head Winemaker, has been crafting wine at the winery since 2006 and became Head Winemaker in 2008. In July 2023, Freddy was recognized by the Seattle Wine Awards as one of the four Best Winemakers in Washington State—an honor reflecting his exceptional palate, creativity, and dedication to the Washington wine industry.

But Freddy’s journey to winemaking is anything but ordinary. His passion for food began at just 13 years old while cooking in his family’s restaurant in California. After culinary school, he worked as a chef in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii before receiving a scholarship to attend the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Italy. It was there that two life-changing chapters began: Freddy discovered a deeper passion for wine and met his future wife, Carrie Bryan, whose family founded Cave B Estate Winery & The Gorge Amphitheatre.

That journey ultimately brought Freddy to Washington State and winemaking school, followed by his return to Cave B as Assistant Winemaker and, later, Head Winemaker. Today, Freddy and Carrie are part of the family team helping shape the future of Cave B, with Freddy leading winemaking and Carrie bringing her expertise to the winery’s marketing, branding and events.

ITINERARY AND BOOKING

Founding The Gorge Amphitheatre A little Family History

Back in the 80’s Vince & Carol Bryan, Cave B founders & owners started the Gorge Amphitheatre. In 1979 had purchased barren land of sage brush, dirt & basalt to grow wine grapes. Where the Gorge is now was our family picnic spot and we had noted the natural acoustics there one evening when some of us ran down the hill and others stayed on top but could hear us clearly. For the grand opening of our first winery in the early 80’s, champs de Brionne, we wanted guests to walk the 1/4 mile from our first winery building to see the beautiful views of the Columbia river and the sunset over the hills. What better way to enhance our wine then to pair it with music. So we built a wooden stage & terraced the hillside. We all laid sod and flowers and booked a band. Folks loved it and we kept it going for seven years, expanding every year and hiring people to help us as needed. It was originally called the Champs de Brionne Summer Music Theatre and the name changed to the Gorge Amphitheatre along the way. After 7 years of building it up to 20,000 people capacity, first building the original stage and later bringing in a new larger, professional stage, starting overnight camping, and making it known to the world, we sold it to MCA. MCA eventually sold it to House of Blues, who eventually sold it to Clear Channel, which led into the Live Nation ownership. Today Live Nation is the owner and they are our neighbor.

It is an easy to walk from the Gorge parking lots or Gorge camping areas to wine taste with us. Simply head west to the Gorge Oasis White Tents. Go left (south) until you see our path, called Gate 2 onto the Cave B property. Once through the gate take a right and head to the large basalt, round building which is our tasting room. On Gorge concert days we do NOT take tasting reservations as we set everything up differently to accommodate more people.

Most often our wine tastings on concert days take place on our front lawn. Depending on the concert size either both our upstairs & downstairs tasting rooms are open for glass pours, bottle sales and snacks, and sometimes it is just the downstairs tasting room so concert goers can enjoy our huge lawns more easily. We often have live music on our Stage B Amphitheatre, located in front of our Quincy tasting room, that pair nicely with the bands at the Gorge. Many Gorge concert goers “pre-party” at Cave B with wine tasting, music and relaxing on our beautiful lawns. Music on our stage is always free to listen to, although we do ask you to purchase a bottle of Cave B wine if you are not wine tasting to support the winery and musicians. Wine tasting on concert days costs $20 per person, this covers the 4 tastings (2 white wines & 2 red wines) and helps us keep the concerts free. Please note on concert days we use our EVENT GLASSES. Event glasses cannot be taken home. Please leave your dirty glass on the marked dirty glass tables on the front lawn by both entries. Thank you for your help with this.

Wine & Music has always been an important part of our family history and we look so forward to sharing both of these with you.
