Description:

The Wine Battle is a Festival of National Tourist Interest, which, due

to the fact that the throwing of wine was common in this city since
1949, kept that name, little by little it was acquiring an influx of
celebrations.
In Perú, there is a festival similar to the Festival The Wine Battle, the
popular and traditional Festival The Vendimia is held in honor of the
best wines and piscos in the world produced by this region.

Location:

The wine battle is developed as a San Pedro festival, which takes

place exactly six kilometers north of the city of Haro, northwest of
the autonomous community of La Rioja, in Spain.

While in Peru, we have a very traditional and popular festival called

the vintage, located south of Lima, the capital of Peru, exactly in the
city of Pisco, department of Ica, just about four hours from Lima
driving on the highway about 237 km.

Date:

In Peru, the popular and traditional festival called the Vendimia is

held in honor of the best wines and piscos in the world produced by
this region.
The Battle of Haro Wine is linked to the death of San Felices de
Bilibio; The Vendimia dates back to colonial times, it originates from
the first weeks of March in warm Ica, 4 hours from Lima, the popular
Harvest Festival is held in honor of the best wines and piscos in the
world produced by this region. The La Rioja town of Haro celebrates
a curious festival on June 29, Saint Peter's Day: the Battle of Wine.

What is about?

Both festivities have wine as the main attraction, in the Hano

festival, consists of a walk where people get wet with wine until they
are completely purple. 

In the grape harvest festival, it consists of celebrating the grape

harvest and the preparation of wines and piscos, making this event
very special in the locality. Both celebrations are intended to attract
more tourism and make known their customs and economic
activities of each locality where each event is celebrated. 

Origins:

The Battle of Haro Wine originated in the 6th century, after the death
of San Felices de Bilibio. The Vendimia in Ica is a traditional and
customary activity that dates back to colonial times with pre-Inca
customs.

Importance:

 The importance of carrying out a "Vedimia" in Ica is to seek to raise

the quality of the grapes from this region.It is thanks to its grape
varieties that derived products such as wine, pisco, sparkling wine
and cachina with great body and flavor are obtained.

There is also a tradition similar to the Vendimia, which is the wine

battle in Spain, which is very important for the town of San Pedro,
where this event takes place.

The objective is to bathe your partner in wine, until you manage to

leave him more purple.
