This young wine festival is celebrated since 2003 with the purpose of promoting the wine of Santa Maria del Camí, with a long winemaking tradition. It begins with the arrival at the plaza of the Vila of the carriage of the branches of pine that are delivered to the warehouses of the town so they hang them in the top of their main entrance, an old custom to announce the beginning of the sale of young wine.
The Fiesta includes the VI Festa de la Tapa, with tasting of young wine and tapas in 17 venues of Santa Maria offering their specialties.
