Marino Grape Festival
October 4 · Level 6 · #928 of 2238
Marino's Grape Festival celebrates the harvest and winemaking traditions of this town in Lazio, near Rome. Local wine takes centre stage as residents and visitors gather for a lively autumn street celebration.
How it is celebrated: costumed processions, music and tastings fill the town. Festival stalls offer grapes, local wine and food, while historical performances introduce visitors to Marino's past.
The festival's famous spectacle is wine flowing from town fountains. The effect is carefully arranged for the celebration with a special wine supply—an unusually theatrical way to serve the local harvest.
