The wine festival takes place every September and is sponsored by Torres one of the most famous vineyards in Spain.

There is also an international food fair with plenty of advice on what wine goes with what food!

Produce ranges from delicious chocolates to local cheeses..

Competition amongst the teams for the barrel rolling and grape trashing is fierce!

The festival is now over 4 decades old and celebrates the culmination of the wine crop for each year.
