This event is a passionate celebration that attracts visitors from all over to enjoy the culture, food and, of course, the exceptional wines of Estreito de Câmara de Lobos.
At this festival, which had its historic debut in September 1963, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of entertainment, including live music performed by musical groups, bands and folk groups.
