This festival has been celebrated since 2003 to promote the wine from Santa Maria del Cami, with a large winemaking tradition. The festival starts with the arrival at the square of the village, of the carrier of the pine branches, which are delivered to the warehouses of the village, to hang at the top of their main portal. This is an old custom to announce the start of the sale of novel wine.
