China to be honored guest at 35th Festival Cervantino in Guanajuato
Thank God for Wine
Every
year we all wait for the summer to come so that we can enjoy outdoor
activities, especially if they take place during our summer vacation. Wine festivals
are special during this season and even more if the celebration takes place
with breathtaking sceneries such as those found in the valleys of the state of Baja California.
Enologists,
wine experts and visitors from different countries will get together this
summer at the Ensenada Food and Wine Festival (Fiestas de la Vendimia). Fifteen days of unique events, food and local
product exhibitions, paella contests, wine and cheese tastings, sensorial
workshops, jazz and classical music concerts, and winery tours will take place
simultaneously in Ensenada
and Valle de Guadalupe from August 6th through the 23rd.
This
year’s theme, “Baja
California’s Sky,” will gather 26
wineries from the region who will participate in more than 50 different
activities. Close to 3,000 visitors are expected to attend these fiestas that
have been celebrated since 1990 and represent the ancient tradition of honoring
the Greek god Dionysus, also known as Baco, god of
agriculture, wine and fertility.
