The Sitges Wine Festival, or Festa de La Verema in Catalan, is one of the biggest events of the fall in Sitges. It is good reason to enjoy a Sitges apartment. Celebrated in the second or third week of September, the Sitges Wine Festival is a celebration of the grape harvest during the peak of the grape season. People gather in Sitges to participate in barrel rolling contests and to tread through massive amounts of grapes. The Sitges Wine Festival provides an exciting environment rooted in history, culture, and of course food.

The Sitges Wine Festival is a long-standing tradition. The event is held annually and is dedicated to a different region of the country each year. Honorary guests from the selected area are invited to the Sitges Wine Festival to come, share their culture, and participate in the traditional festivities.

The Sitges Wine Festival is more than just grape smashing and carrying around barrels. The first night of the Sitges Wine Festival always begins with the Night of the Harvest. During the Sitges Wine Festival, visitors can attend an event called La Pubilla de Sitges. La Pubilla de Sitges is a beauty contest for those brave enough to compete. Those who do not choose to keep up with the beauty contest can always participate in gourmet food and wine tasting, which is the main attraction. Being able to buy some of Spain’s best food and drinks make the Sitges Wine Festival stand out. The last night of the Sitges Wine Festival ends with a dedication to the person that organised that year’s festival.

The entire town of Sitges tends to get involved with the event. Restaurants typically change their menus to be more wine and grape centered. Everyone in the town is in good spirits as they celebrate the weekend event. For those looking to have a good time, a visit to The Sitges Wine Festival perfectly compliments a stay in a Sitges apartment.
