Bodega La Geria wine fiesta tomorrow

Bodega La Geria will celebrate the wine harvest tomorrow, August 15^th.

The Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Caridad is when workers dress in traditional peasant costumes and head to the zocos with camels, loading up the old wooden crates that were used in the past. The crates are brought back to Bodea La Geria, weighed on an antique scale and then tipped into a stone vat.

Later, visitors are invited to remove their footwear and tread the grapes in the old-fashioned way.

After this, a mass will be held in the little white church nearby, which was once buried entirely in volcanic ash. Then the festivities begin.

The celebrations will start at 10:30am tomorrow, August 15^th.
