Fiestas Patronales de Aranda de Duero

Aranda de Duero's main town festival overlaps with the harvest season and includes wine-themed events, peñas (private wine clubs) celebrations in the underground bodegas, and the 'Fiesta de las Penas' where wine clubs open their subterranean cellars to members and invited guests. The underground bodega network - 136 catalogued cellars with 4.2 km of galleries - is at its most socially active during the September festivities. Lechazo (roast suckling lamb) is the centrepiece gastronomy, paired with local Ribera reds.

Ferias y Fiestas de Peñafiel

Peñafiel's annual town festival held beneath the hilltop castle - itself home to the Museo Provincial del Vino. Wine is inseparable from the celebrations: the castle's museum hosts special evening tastings and Bodegas Protos, whose cellars extend beneath the castle walls, often opens for extended visits during the fair. The event coincides with the weeks before harvest, when the grapes hanging on the terraced vineyards below the castle are approaching full ripeness.
