It is called "the crush"!. You pretty much got the process!. You stomp grapes to separate the juice from the stems, seeds and fiber in the grapes!. The resulting mess sits and ferments for a time determined by the winemaker, then the juice is drained off from the "raft" of vegetable matter into barrels for aging!.
You should look for small wineries in California, France, Italy, Australia, etc!., as most bigger wineries do this mechanically!. Remember that this will be in the fall, usually September-ish in the northern hemisphere and April-ish in the southern hemisphere!.
If you contact a travel agent that specializes in wine tourism, they could probably arrange it for you!. This might be a good place to start: http://www!.napavintners!.com/Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pigeage is a French winemaking term for the traditional stomping of grapes in open fermentation tanks!. To make certain types of wine, grapes are put through a crusher and then poured into open fermentation tanks!. Once fermentation begins, the grape skins are pushed to the surface by carbon dioxide gases released in the fermentation process!. This layer of skins and other solids is known as the cap!. As the skins are the source of the tannins, the cap needs to be
mixed through the liquid each day, or "punched," which traditionally is done by stomping through the vat!.
This activity is often available at local wineries, so just inquire within one near you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
