Bookmark and Share As it is tradition, the Grape Festival takes place every first Sunday of October in Marino, a small town not far from Rome, in the Latium region of Italy. For the occasion, thanks to the local administration, the historic fountain in the central square of the town pours local white wine instead of water, for the joy of the citizens and visitors alike, who participate in large number year after year.

This time around, Wine Country.IT associate, Raffaele Bianchi, participated to the festivities and shot the following photographs for our enjoyment.
