The story behind it
Strongly tied to the Tokaj-Hegyalja wine heritage. It highlights the social role of wine in the community and preserves old harvest customs (processions, blessings of grapes, communal wine drinking) rather than luxury consumption. The festival also reflects the identity of the entire wine region, with neighboring villages joining the October festivities.
