For me, most of the fun happened once the sun went down. That's when they lit the torches, the drums came out on stage, and then fireworks! During the day it's walking from winery to winery which is a nice walk but a bit too hot on the day we went.

It was fun, we saw the festival and tasted grapes and wines, there is many winery would have spent more if the highway was clearer that day
