A festival of Andalusian interest, created in 1954 with the aim of publicising the goodness of the wines obtained from the vineyards of Villanueva del Ariscal. Various events are organised prior to the treading of the grapes and the obtaining of the first must of the year. Another of the most significant moments takes place during the pilgrimage in honour of San Ginés, patron saint of viticulture.

Thrilling bull runs, in which the bulls run through the streets for 820 meters at the end of August, captivating brave runners and spectators.

Many years have passed since 1229 and the bay of Santa Ponça, which saw the arrival of the Christian ships, welcomes the first fortnight of September, our festival, the joy of many Calvianeros, Mallorcans and visitors who come to relive this historic event in a collective and participative celebration.
