Vendimia de Altura Festival
Join Tarija vendimia - the high-altitude harvest festival. March brings grape picking, traditional dances, and the crowning of the Vendimia Queen. Locals take over the town square. Every winery opens their doors. The atmosphere is more authentic than famous harvest festivals because almost no international tourists know it exists. You will be the only foreigner stomping grapes.
