Grape Picking Fun and a Disappointing Festival: A Family Outing
If you book your grape picking experience in advance, they'll text you the address. We went to Chamjoeun Grape Farm for the 11 AM slot on Sunday!
The parking lot is spacious, which is convenient. However, as more people arrived, it became difficult to maneuver out of the parking space, even though finding one was easy.
Right in front of the parking area, the owner welcomed us! After a brief explanation, we started our grape picking adventure.
Here's a breakdown of the grape picking experience:
1. The experience cost ₩15,000 for 3 people (prepaid).
2. The price includes 1 kg of grapes, which is about two bunches. (If you pick less than 1 kg, they'll add grapes from their supply. If you pick more, they'll take some away to even it out).
3. If you pick 4 kg of grapes, you pay an additional ₩25,000 for the extra 3 kg.
4. Any additional weight over 4kg is charged at ₩9,000 per kg.
Each group gets a basket and a pair of scissors.
Since many people came the day before, they only allowed us to pick from about two rows of vines.
My son was excited to find the biggest grapes!
When my son holds up a large grape, Dad cuts it off the vine with the scissors.
Once he got started, my son turned into a very serious little farmer!
The grapes (Geobong variety) we picked were weighed to calculate any additional cost.
After the grape picking experience, we drove to the festival grounds, about 8 minutes away.
Parking was quite difficult.
We spotted an inflatable water park!
That explained why most of the kids were wearing rash guards.
They were selling grapes at the entrance: ₩25,000 for 3 kg.
I love Dundeok Campbell Geobong grapes, but they were all sold out!
(They said they sold out in just two weeks because they were so delicious).
Lots of congratulatory wreaths at the entrance ㅋㅋㅋ
Program schedule (parents were looking forward to seeing Tae Jin-ah!)
It was pretty empty when we arrived around noon.
Were people saving their seats for Tae Jin-ah? ㅜ It looked pretty shabby, and even though I brought guests, it wasn't that great.
The water park was perfect for kids aged 3-4.
The festival grounds were lacking in many ways ㅋㅋㅋ
You could buy a ₩2,000 ticket for six dart throws.
Most kids took an ice water, and middle schoolers took a bunch of grapes ㅋㅋ
There was also a free bubble-making activity.
My son won first place and got a balloon!
The entertainment was lacking, and it was too hot to stay for more than an hour. We escaped back to the cool car ㅋㅋㅋ
