The Festa dell' Uva continues

The Grape Festival continued today and what a lot of fun we have had. The parade went around outside the village walls, right along our street (the former moat), in fact, it went around three times. The participants were exuberant, full of fun and in character for a long period. Lots of colour, noise and excitement, and we had a prime viewing spot from our garden wall above the road.














The Palio dei Bigonci, a race simulating carrying buckets of grapes was over very quickly, so quickly that I only got one ordinary photo.



In the evening we resumed our Gusti di Lago wine and food tasting experience. Some lovely wines and interesting tastes.


It has been a really great experience to be in Panicale for their festival. There has been so much to do and I haven't even mentioned the community dinners, live music and dancing under the stars or the wine bar set up in the gardens with karaoke and live music.


In the end it was all too much for some of us.
