Cangas Wine Harvest Festival

The Grape Harvest Festival is unique in Asturias, among other reasons because Cangas del Narcea is the only wine-producing area in the Principality, with a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages and with a type of mountain vineyard that makes this viticulture a truly heroic activity.

This festival coincides every year with the Puente del Pilar, in the first fortnight of October, and there are many activities that take place around the grape harvest. In addition to the incessant activity and atmosphere in the vineyards, the town of Cantabria hosts a fair and craft market with all kinds of local products, as well as wine tastings, guided visits to the Wine Museum, gastronomy linked to the world of wine, etc. Numerous brotherhoods meet in Cangas del Narcea and have their own parade accompanied by the local music band.

These are four days of authentic worship to the culture of the Quality Wine of Cangas, where you can learn all about this activity that has millenary status in the west of Asturias, and that year after year becomes more and more crowded.
