Wine Extravaganza at La Vermada Festival
Wine lovers - whether they are veteran connoisseurs or simply enjoy a glass or two during meal times - could find booking a Mallorca villa is a wise move when selecting a holiday.
Such accommodation could be advisable for fans of the beverage as each year the La Vermada in Binissalem Festival offers a whole host of activities related to the drink.
Taking place every September, the event serves up a variety of things for holidaymakers to do and see, although the main focus of the Mallorca fiesta is firmly put on wine.
Visitors wishing to sample some of the local wines - which include merlot and cabernet sauvignon - are sure to find it in free flow.
The festival - which celebrates the annual picking of the Raiguer region's grapes - sees makers offer their latest stock.
Meanwhile, a tasting course is held at local cultural centre Can Gelabert.
However, those wanting a more hands-on - although perhaps that should be feet-on - break could find the annual grape pressing competition is for them.
Here, participants take off their socks and shoes to press the fruit.
But there are plenty of other things to get involved in for those staying in a villa or any other kind of accommodation over the course of the September festival.
Among the events taking place are street parades, dance performances, sporting spectacles and exhibitions.
Indeed, with so much going on during La Vermada - which is the Spanish word for harvest - getting accommodation close to the centre of Binissalem means that not only do visitors have a short distance to travel after the night's proceedings are over, but the convenient locations means that they may also be able to avoid queuing for ages for entrance to events.
So why not make the La Vermada in Binissalem Festival the destination of your next Mallorca holiday?
