All About Spain's Haro Wine Festival

The Haro Wine Festival, also known as La Batalla del Vino, is a famous festival in Spain. Like the Tomatina Festival, La Batalla del Vino involves a wine battle. In this competition, participants split into two teams and throw litres of red wine at each other. The Haro Wine Festival takes place every year on July 29. According to legends, the festival began as a territorial dispute between Haro and one of its neighbouring villages, Miranda de Ebro. Over the years, the Haro Wine Festival evolved into an activity of hurling wine.
