Experience Mendoza during Argentina’s famous Vendimia Harvest Festival, with parades, wine culture, music and celebration in the heart of the country’s most iconic wine region.

The Vendimia Harvest Festival is Mendoza’s great annual celebration of wine, harvest and regional culture. The 2027 festival is expected to include the famous Vía Blanca parade, El Carrusel and the Acto Central show. Wine Adventurer is also planning a separate 11-night hosted Mendoza wine trip around the festival from 4-15 March 2027.

The Vendimia Harvest Festival is one of Argentina’s great wine and cultural celebrations, held each year in Mendoza, the country’s most famous wine region.

Built around the grape harvest, Vendimia brings together wine, music, performance, parades and regional tradition. For wine lovers, it is one of the most atmospheric times of year to visit Mendoza, with the city and surrounding wine regions celebrating the harvest season.

The 2027 Vendimia festival is planned around Friday 5 March and Saturday 6 March 2027. Official programme details, ticketing and event timings should be checked before making final travel plans.

Vendimia is not just a single event. It is a series of celebrations, parades and performances that usually take place across Mendoza city and the surrounding region.

Highlights often include:

– Vía Blanca de las Reinas, an evening parade through Mendoza city
– El Carrusel, a daytime parade with music, horses, dancers and regional floats
– Acto Central, the main theatrical show and celebration of the harvest
– wine events, cultural activities and regional celebrations across Mendoza

For independent travellers, Vendimia can be a memorable reason to visit Mendoza in March. For wine travellers, it also pairs naturally with vineyard visits in regions such as Luján de Cuyo, Maipú and the Uco Valley.

Planning to attend Vendimia independently?

If you are arranging your own trip, Mendoza is a rewarding wine destination to explore around the festival period. You may want to allow time for:

– Mendoza city before and during the festival weekend
– winery visits after the main festival events
– Luján de Cuyo, Maipú or Uco Valley wine days
– relaxed meals, tastings and time to enjoy the city
– airport transfers and local transport planning

Festival weekends can be busy, so it is worth arranging accommodation, tickets and transfers well in advance once official dates and ticketing are confirmed.
