Wine Harvest Festival 2006
From September 14 to 24 in Binissalem.
La "Vermada" (harvest), or "Festa des Vermar" that is celebrated every year at the end of September, when the grapes are picked, is the most important fiesta in Binissalem. The whole character of this town from the Raiguer, emerges into the street. "Fideus de vermar" (harvest pasta), street parades, dances and, above all, wine, will accompany this great fiesta of the people from Binissalem.
The programme for this year includes a wide range of activities: exhibitions, performances, "glosses" (rhymes), demonstrations and a long etcetera. A great part of the events is related directly to the wine harvest, such as the wine tasting course in Can Gelabert and the grape pressing by feet competition.
The traditional float parade "Vermada 2006" will take place on Saturday 23, as from 5 p.m., and the grape competition, and the homage "Ofrena a Nostra Senyora de Robines del Most Novell", by the selected "vermadors" and "vermadores", will be on Sunday 24 as from 11.30 a.m., just after the Mass.
