The Saint Martin's celebration

The grape harvest ends in October and then, in the first days of November, our towns and villages come alive. For us the St. Martin’s celebration is the largest local holiday, linked with tradition, winegrowing and winemaking, but also linked with the gratitude and happines over everything we grew and experienced through the whole year. It is wonderful that we can share this happiness with you, the visitors from near and far.
