Wine & Folk – Grape Festival
Jesolo's historic Grape Festival with float parades, wine, and folklore
About Wine & Folk Jesolo
The Grape Festival of Jesolo
Wine & Folk is the name under which the historic Grape Festival of Jesolo, in the province of Venice, is revived today. It is an event with decades of history that every early September draws residents and tourists to the town's squares. Tradition meets modernity in a festival celebrating the grape harvest and the area's deep connection with viticulture.
The Float Parade
The heart of the event is the parade of allegorical floats pulled by tractors, which travel through the town's streets distributing grapes and wine to the public. Majorettes, choreographic dances, live music, and folk groups accompany the procession, enlivening the squares with traditional local songs and dances.
Workshops and Tastings
At the arrival squares, there are wine workshops, wine experiences with bare-foot grape stomping, activities for children, and tastings of typical grapes and wines, in a convivial festive atmosphere that unites generations.
