Garnatxa Festival


It's spring time, and maybe not the time traditionally associated with wine festivals, but for the people in the Emporda region in Catalonia it's been a time to celebrate for the last 13 years. April 2 and 3, in the town of Gairguelles the region's best winemakers and local chefs celebrate with samples of the superb red, Garnatxa, and a local delicacy known as Brunyols, which is traditionally eaten at festival times such as Semana Santa. Activities include an open wine tasting competition and Sardanas dances in the evening. The Spanish Touch will be on hand to witness the celebration, and with the springtime in full bloom it promises to be a wonderful experience.
