As we know, Manilva anchor their cultural roots in the Vine, the wine culture and tradition of her vintage. As summer ends and autumn is present in the evenings, it's time to cut the ripe grapes, step on it and get the miracle of turning the fruit in wine not only makes life merry, but lengthens and enriches.

This joyous festival, fun, live where Manilva offers the first and most precious clusters to the Virgin of Sorrows out in solemn procession crossing the village and later start with the traditional treading of the grapes which runs the first thistle and the joy. It is not eworthy that the Fair Day in 1983 joined the Harvest Festival. The characteristic of this event is the pressing of grapes for wine grape extract the first year, which is then offered to visitors and friends for tasting.
