Curic\u00f3 is once again setting the standard on the national wine calendar with the staging of the XXXVII edition of the Harvest Festival, organised jointly by the I. Municipalidad de Curic\u00f3, the Curic\u00f3 Cultural Corporation and the Curic\u00f3 Wine Route.<\/p>\n

A celebration which, almost four decades after its creation, reaffirms its position as the oldest and one of the most attended in the country.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the festival took a strategic step by becoming one of the eight national harvest festivals to be awarded the Harvest Seal, a recognition granted by Enoturismo Chile to events that meet standards for organisational quality, territorial identity, and visitor experience.<\/p>\n

The current edition, which will take place next 20, 21 and 22 March 2026,<\/strong> it will be held for the second year in La Granja Park, a new location that was successfully debuted in its previous version, as it not only allowed for an increase in the event's capacity but also consolidated a safer and more functional environment, like a true family outing.<\/p>\n

The change was widely appreciated by the public, reinforcing the civic and cross-cutting nature of the celebration.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the 2026 version re-incorporates a relevant international component: Mexico is the guest country.<\/em>, strengthening cultural and wine exchange between both territories and projecting the Curic\u00f3 Valley onto a global stage.<\/p>\n

Celebration with history<\/h4>\n

A tradition that began 40 years ago, as the Curic\u00f3 Grape Harvest Festival was born in 1986, driven by the Spanish oenologist Miguel A. Torres \u2013 who, incidentally, will be attending this important celebration for the wine world \u2013 with the vision of integrating Chilean and Spanish traditions around wine.<\/p>\n

Over the decades, it transformed into the country's oldest wine celebration and one of the most attended events in the national calendar.<\/p>\n

The 37th version promises a great cultural, gastronomic, and artisan space for the whole community, highlighting the great Wine Square<\/strong>,<\/strong> where a large part of the region's vineyards will be present, along with a varied culinary offering and samples of local crafts.<\/p>\n

This year, over the three days, the festival will bring together partner wineries from the Curic\u00f3 Wine Route, such as Aresti, Requingua, Miguel Torres, Korta, Ra\u00edces, Vi\u00f1edos Puertas, Valdivieso, San Pedro, AltaCima, Pajo Wine and Patac\u00f3n Winery<\/strong>, which, along with other invited wineries from the Maule Region, will offer tastings and direct sales, reaffirming the sector's commitment to this great civic festival.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the already well-known Premium Wine Bar will feature novel gastronomic and cultural activations that will surprise all visitors.<\/p>\n

Added to this are a folk festival with well-known local groups, along with national and international shows by artists such as Pedro Aznar, Los Bunkers, Jorge Al\u00eds, Santa Feria and Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Quintanilla<\/strong>, consolidating a high-level and transversal roster.<\/p>\n

The celebration also includes local gastronomy, folklore, and typical, high-quality crafts, all designed for the entertainment of the whole family, consolidating a cross-cutting event that combines tradition with global projection.<\/p>\n
