The once a year Fiesta de la Vendimia (Wine Harvest Festival) which is the largest national festival in Argentina kicked off on last Friday night with the “Via Blanca Parade”. Dating to 1936, this celebratory party has evolved into one of the largest wine festivals in the world.
During the “Via Blanca Parade”, decorated carriages took the Wine Harvest Queens of every department of Mendoza through the streets of the City to promote the unique aspects of their own.
On Saturday morning, the queens on the carriages were accompanied by gauchos, the local cowboys, dressed in their typical outfits. Spectators with improvised baskets on long sticks received the typical fruits and other treats given out by the queens during the “Carrousel Parade”.
The same Saturday, during the evening, an imposing allegorical show with great choreography framed in a display of light and sound that took place at the Frank Romero Day Amphitheater nestled in the middle of the hills surrounding the city of Mendoza.
Every year the celebration has a different name. In 2020 it has been called "Blue Symphony for the New Wine". During the show, the city-wide party featured traditional cuisine, more than 1000 artists on stage singing and dancing to tell the history of winemaking in Mendoza, and a beauty contest to select the National Harvest Queen. Finally, the queen from Tupungato Department had been crowned.
“The parades are one of my favorite activities during the Wine Harvest Festival. I especially love the Andean dances. When I first arrived to South America, I also danced in a saya in parades.” Lisa Denham reported to China Wine News.
2020年阿根廷門多薩葡萄酒節盛大舉行
3月5日晚上，一年一度的門多薩葡萄酒節在多彩的花車巡游中拉開序幕。
據悉，阿根廷門多薩的葡萄酒節始于1936年，吸引了來自阿根廷各地、拉丁美洲、歐洲和北美的數十萬名游客，現已成為世界上最盛大的葡萄酒節之一。
幾天的時間里，經過精心裝點的葡萄酒花車載著來自門多薩的各個子產區的葡萄酒王后，在城市的主要街道上巡游。盛裝打扮的牛仔游行隊伍，還有民族歌舞表演，把節日的氣氛推向高潮。
不管是當地人還是前來游覽的游客，在充分享受葡萄酒節的狂熱時，還能在巡游中獲得來自葡萄酒王后派發的水果或者小禮物。
3月6號晚上，以“葡萄酒的藍色交響曲”為主題的門多薩葡萄酒節嘉年華晚會在“羅梅洛”露天大劇場上演。1200名演員在舞臺上載歌載舞，講述門多薩的釀酒故事。隨后，盛大的葡萄酒王后加冕儀式舉行，來自門多薩Tupungato子產區的葡萄酒王后最終摘得桂冠。
正在參加葡萄酒節活動的Lisa Denham告訴《華夏酒報》記者，各種各樣的巡游表演讓她嗨到不行，禁不住跟著安第斯舞一起搖擺。她至今還記得第一次到南美阿根廷，穿著賽亞裙在巡游中跳舞的樣子。
