Check out La Vendemmia, Ottawa’s annual celebration of Italian wine and food, which kicked off last night on Preston Street.
Running through Sunday, La Vendemmia is an Italian celebration of harvest time when farmers gather to celebrate the Earth’s bounty, catch up with their neighbours, and celebrate the end of the intense work involved in planting, growing, and harvesting. The festival here includes wine and food seminars, dinners, cooking demos, wine tastings and a charity grape stomp.
While you’re there, check out 15 new bronze and granite sculptures designed by Wakefield artist CJ Fleury.
