Celebrate the grape harvest at Jumilla's Grand Wine Parade with Raquel Tours this August
Raquel Tours is running a special evening excursion to Jumilla's Fiestas de la Vendimia on Saturday August 22, priced at just €35 per person
Summer in the Region of Murcia brings plenty of excuses to get out and celebrate and few events capture that spirit quite like Jumilla's wine harvest festival. Raquel Tours is offering a special evening excursion on Saturday August 22, priced at just €35 per person, taking guests to the heart of one of the area's most colourful traditions.
Jumilla has built an international reputation for its winemaking, with the Monastrell grape forming the backbone of a heritage that stretches back generations. Each summer, the town channels that pride into the Fiestas de la Vendimia, its annual celebration of the grape harvest, when the streets fill with music, colour and an exciting festive buzz that's hard to find anywhere else.
The evening's centrepiece is the Grand Wine Parade, where residents and visitors join together in a shared celebration of everything the local wine culture represents. Wine flows freely through the streets during the festivities, and the atmosphere builds into something guests won't forget in a hurry.
Things don't stop there, as the night also features the town's famous wine bath show, a playful and slightly chaotic tradition that's earned Jumilla a reputation as one of the most original wine festivals anywhere in Spain.
There's time built into the evening for guests to explore Jumilla's historic centre at their own pace too, whether that means finding a spot on a terrace, trying some local food or just taking in the buzz of a balmy summer night. A restaurant reservation is included as part of the trip, giving everyone a comfortable base to return to during the celebrations, although food and drinks themselves aren't covered in the price.
As with all of Raquel Tours' excursions, comfortable return transport is arranged from a wide range of resorts across the Region, and the whole evening is designed to feel relaxed and sociable rather than rushed. Guides are available in English, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
Pickup points are available from Hacienda del Álamo Golf Resort, La Torre Golf Resort, El Valle Golf Resort, Altaona Golf Resort, Las Terrazas de la Torre Golf Resort, Mar Menor Golf Resort, Santa Rosalía, Roda Golf, La Serena Golf, Corvera Golf Resort and Murcia city, with additional locations available on request.
Getting to Murcia
If you're flying in for a trip like this, Corvera Airport (Murcia International, RMU) is the most convenient option for most visitors, particularly if you're staying near one of the Region's golf resorts, thanks to quick arrivals and an easy check-in process.

Where to stay
For anywhere to stay in the Region, from golf hotels near the top courses to beachside spots in Mazarrón or La Manga, or something more central in Murcia city, Raquel Tours also has a handy accommodation guide to help you compare your options and find something that suits your trip, whether that's the coast, the golf courses or the warm year-round climate that draws people to the region in the first place.
