There is free wine tasting and exhibits including local artisan products like Rectoral de Gundivós to promote the superb but relatively unknown wine area with a great future. You can eat in the local bars and restaurants as well as at a stand. There is also music at nightime including groups,bands and orchestras and a prizes for the best wines.
