Fiesta de la Vendimia de SurcoPeruvians celebrate their grape harvest in fine style at the
annual wine festival in Santiago de Surco, south of Lima. Among the
local vineyards the craft of winemaking in the old way, from
treading grapes by foot, through fermentation and aging processes,
are demonstrated. The festival also provides a stage for local
performers, a Queen of the Harvest is chosen, and there are various
processions, competitions and parties where visitors are avidly
taught to dance the Afro-Peruvian festejo. Ma Event Date: 2nd week of March 2012 Venue: Santiago de Surco |
