VENDIMIA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL.

Wine tasting in the city of ICA, The Vendimia International

Festival has been celebrated since 1958, its main purpose
being to promote the wine culture, concentrated in the
southern region of Peru. From March 24-25, people enjoy
the Festival of Vendimia.

For two days, and as part of the celebrations, there will be

concerts, fireworks, dance contests, food and drink fairs,
craft fairs, and extreme sports, such as sandboarding.

Of course, the most important event is the “Reina de la

Vendimia” beauty pageant, where they choose the
“Vendimia Queen”. Once crowned, as part of the tradition,
the queen will tread grapes to extract juice, which will
later be fermented.

The city of Paracas will turn into a party town, and the
best part is that the entrance is free! This is an
opportunity that shouldn’t be missed.

The Vendimia Festival, is also celebrated in other cities,

such as Lima Norte, Los Olivos, Cusco.
