Vitacura Wine Festival 2009
Do you like wine festivals?
Well an event that I have been waiting for is the Vitacura Fiesta de la Vendimia 2009.
Why have I been waiting for it? Not because I’m alcoholic, but because it’s only recently they have given the information of where it will be held and the reason is that they have changed the venue and the name of the event (a tiff between the city council and the previous organizers??)
Over the last years the event was on the exclusive Alonso de Córdova Street and called the DeCopas festival. Now it is called the Fiesta de Vendimia de Vitacura.
Place: Parque Bicentenario (Av. Bicentenario 3800 next to the civic centre)
When: Saturday 18th April 2009 3pm to Midnight and
Sunday 19th April 2009 Noon to 8pm.
Price: Free activities all day though those that want to do some wine tasting will have to buy a special tasting glass. I haven’t found the price of that yet.
Remember it is THIS WEEKEND!!!!

how was this???i wanted to go. are there any more wine festivals coming up in the near future???
As much as I wanted to I didn't end up going to the Vitacura Festival. We were running the NZ section of the Expo-Ingles fair at the Crowne Plaza and to celebrate the final day, 25 of the NZ exhibitors and crew went to a great Peruvian restaurant at Patio Bellavista called Barandiaran (www.barandiaran.cl). They have fantastic (though potent) Pisco Sours called Catedrales (Cathedrals). I think the name comes from when you have had too many of them and you end up saying "Oh, my God! Oh my God!...".
Oh course I didn't want anything remotely to do with alcohol the next day, not even going by the grape stand at the supermarket :) so the final day of the Vitacura festival was totally off the list.
Did anyone go to this festival? How was it?
