Old fashioned harvest on September 14th. An experience to get to know the work of the ancient grape pickers, its traditions and the viticulture of our grandparents. Tradition and ancestral knowledge. A day to enjoy with family.
The old-fashioned grape harvest is an experience for the whole family. We will learn how to make wine as they did at the beginning of the 20th century.
Arrival at 10 am at the meeting point: Celler Espelt, Vilajuïga.
Duration: 4 hours
Program:
We will leave together from the winery’s esplanade, in Vilajuïga, and take a walk to the Mas Espelt vineyards. The walk takes about fifteen minutes at a leisurely pace and is suitable for all ages. Once in the vineyard, we will harvest the grapes and put them in the semales. We will collect the semales and take them to the threshing floor, where we will press the grapes in the same semales with the help of our feet.
During the grape pressing we will have live music by La Diatònica and at the end a small snack with meat from Llavora to taste the must.
Recommendations:
Wear comfortable shoes and cool clothing, as well as some water to hydrate during the walk and the grape harvest.
