Ica Vendimia Festival

Ica

Date: March

Wine is the essence of the land aged in barrels. In Peru, Ica, located approximately 300 km. (165 miles) south of Lima, is the place for the best grapevines and the country’s most ancient and traditional viticulturist wineries.

Every year in March – and for a whole week – people celebrate the grape festival, most known as the International Harvest Festival or Ica Vendimia Festival, an event that welcomes thousands of local and international visitors who enjoy the local folklore, the beauty of the Miss Harvest Pageants, and the tasty flavors of the local food, wine, and spirits.

During these days, Ica becomes an endless party with music festivals, cock fighting, and Peruvian Horse riding everywhere. People drink Pisco, Peru’s flagship drink, cachina, and, of course, wine. Wineries wait for you with open arms, you just have to follow the “wine road”.

You can visit Ica any time of the year and discover the enigmatic Nazca Lines, the marine life of the Ballestas Islands, the thrilling sand dunes, and more.  Check out our Nazca Lines Tour.  Also, all of our tours are customizable and you can add days and/or destinations wherever you’d like.  Write to us at sales@intenseperu.com or fill out our Contact Us form with any questions.
