Festival of the Wine Press

In Chenove (Cote d’Or, Bourgogne) they celebrate the wine press from 19-21 September 2008 - Fete de la Pressee

Some of the first wooden wine presses in France were constructed here in the 13th Century, and some of them are huge - capable of grapes to produce 23,000 litres of wine!

Over the three days they get one of these mighty machines working (it is harvest time after all) and supply the usual jollity, ceremony, music, dancing and the opportuinity to try good local food and wine!
