Burgundy's Saint Vincent Festival... In Westminster, Maryland!

Each January in Burgundy, France, locals celebrate the Festival of Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers. The celebration takes place in a different winegrowing village each year. Saint Vincent celebrations attract tens of thousands of people over the weekend. Visitors pay to tour the village where local winegrowers have opened their cellars for wine tasting, and join in the fun.

In the town square, the houses are decorated with paper mache flowers and many of the locals dress up in costumes from eras past. It's quirky. And beautiful. Winemakers pour special bottles of wine and offer samples of future vintages straight from the barrel. 

We decided to bring this tradition to Maryland! So on January 27-28, 2018, The Saint Vincent festival took place in the rolling hills of Westminster, Maryland. Get a little taste of Burgundy in this video!
