Stomp, sip, and celebrate
At the heart of Stomp Festival Cessnock are the wineries that bring the soul, flavour, and character of our renowned wine region to life. The event is designed to spotlight local wine producers and create genuine opportunities to connect with thousands of engaged festivalgoers.
This year, we’re excited to share that the participation fee for wineries is subsidised by Cessnock City Council and set at just $500. We know that your time and resources are valuable, so our goal is to ensure your investment delivers a clear and immediate return. With a tailored event design, limited vendor spots, and a focus on quality over quantity, we’re aiming for strong ROI from the moment gates open.

There will be a cap on the number of wineries participating to ensure each vendor gets maximum exposure and value.
