The Vendimia International Festival: Celebrating Peru's Wine Culture

WRITING

In Peru, we have a holiday called The Vendimia International Festival. Its main purpose is to promote the wine culture concentrated in the southern region of Peru. The festival is celebrated during March.

This festivity is a tradition to celebrate and give thanks for the fertile lands. Before the festival starts, different producers allow the public to enter their vineyards, giving tourists and visitors a special experience where they can enjoy learning about the process of making pisco and wine. Many people travel to their hometowns to spend The Vendimia International Festival with their families.

During the festival, a Queen is chosen. After this, there is a great parade before the winner is finally chosen after a short walk down the runway.
