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年阿根廷门多萨葡萄酒节盛大举行
3月5日晚上，一年一度的门多萨葡萄酒节在多彩的花车巡游中拉开序幕。
据悉，阿根廷门多萨的葡萄酒节始于1936年，吸引了来自阿根廷各地、拉丁美洲、欧洲和北美的数十万名游客，现已成为世界上最盛大的葡萄酒节之一。
几天的时间里，经过精心装点的葡萄酒花车载着来自门多萨的各个子产区的葡萄酒王后，在城市的主要街道上巡游。盛装打扮的牛仔游行队伍，还有民族歌舞表演，把节日的气氛推向高潮。
不管是当地人还是前来游览的游客，在充分享受葡萄酒节的狂热时，还能在巡游中获得来自葡萄酒王后派发的水果或者小礼物。
3月6号晚上，以“葡萄酒的蓝色交响曲”为主题的门多萨葡萄酒节嘉年华晚会在“罗梅洛”露天大剧场上演。1200名演员在舞台上载歌载舞，讲述门多萨的酿酒故事。随后，盛大的葡萄酒王后加冕仪式举行，来自门多萨Tupungato子产区的葡萄酒王后最终摘得桂冠。
正在参加葡萄酒节活动的Lisa Denham告诉《华夏酒报》记者，各种各样的巡游表演让她嗨到不行，禁不住跟着安第斯舞一起摇摆。她至今还记得第一次到南美阿根廷，穿着赛亚裙在巡游中跳舞的样子。
