The time of the wine harvest festival in early autumn is the perfect opportunity to enjoy Spain's best-known wines. These festivities are a special event and make the ideal way to learn all about the culture of wine by taking part in all the traditions and festive atmosphere surrounding the grape harvest.
September and October mark the arrival of autumn, and also the period when the grapes are picked. Every year, the harvest signals the end of the grape-growing season, and after the work is done, it's time to celebrate the good crop in style. The grape harvest festivals held in many places throughout Spain offer an insight into the world of wine and its typical popular customs. A good time is guaranteed during these festivities thanks to the infectious mood of cheerful high spirits. You'll also have the chance to see first-hand some of the tasks involved in the winemaking process.
These naturally include the traditional treading of the grapes and the tasting of the first must. Wine-related events are often organised as well, such as tasting sessions, al fresco meals or open days at wineries. The programme usually includes other activities of a cultural nature, such as competitions, folk dances, parades or theatrical productions. The La Rioja and Jerez Grape Harvest Festivals are among the most famous; however, you'll find that these celebrations are held in a number of locations in each of Spain's winemaking areas.
Autumn in Spain brings the opportunity to enjoy this country's wine culture in an easy and fun way. Not to be missed.
