Vendimia
Vendimia is the Spanish term for grape harvest, particularly significant in wine-producing regions. This event typically occurs in late summer to early autumn, depending on the climate and grape variety. It marks the culmination of a year’s work in vineyards, where grapes are picked at their peak ripeness for winemaking.
During Vendimia, communities often celebrate with festivals that include music, food, and wine tasting. The process involves careful selection of grapes, which are then transported to wineries for fermentation. This tradition not only highlights the importance of viticulture but also fosters local culture and tourism in regions like La Rioja and Napa Valley.
