San Vino Wine Fight Festival Spain 2023
The Wine Fight is known as La Batalla de Vino de Haro by the locals, this is the perfect opportunity to visit one of the world’s great red-wine regions and leave after being soaked head-to-toe in the grape juice that isn’t up to the region’s high standards (don’t worry, it’s not a waste).
Stoke Travel’s all-inclusive Wine Fight packages include: entry into the battle, your stay in deluxe camping accommodations with beds and bedding, an open beer, wine and sangria bar between 10am and 10pm, a delicious, chef-prepared bottomless brunch with cooked breakfast buffet and unlimited mimosas each day, Stoke Travel guides to show you where and how to battle, welcome local cheese and wine tasting, plus plenty of red wine to throw.
What is the Haro Wine Fight?
The celebrations find their origins in a centuries old land dispute between Haro and neighbouring Miranda de Ebro, that over the years descended into the Wine Fight (read more about the Wine Fight’s history here). These days the dispute has been solved, but the Batalla de Vino remains, with locals young and old coming from Haro and the surrounding region to fight with each other and with travellers. The battle is fought on a hillside overlooking La Rioja’s vineyards, and battlers use buckets, water pistols and any other device that can carry and throw wine. And don’t worry, wine lovers, it’s not a waste! This is the wine that wasn’t good enough to be bottled, and when the battle’s over the rivers of wine fun back down the mountain and into the vineyards to fertilise them. The Wine Fight is an up-and-coming Spanish fiesta and one that you must visit if you’re a wine lover, party animal or a lover of unique travelling experiences.

Camping at the San Vino Wine Fight
Stoke Travel’s San Vino campsite is the perfect place to party and prepare for the Wine Fight — and to wash away the vino in the on-site pool afterwards. Set by a river at the base of the hills where the battle takes place, surrounded by vineyards, the campsite is where we sleep in pre-erected deluxe tents and teepee accommodation, eat chef prepared bottomless brunch together, and party with hundreds of like-minded international travellers, with an unlimited open bar of beer and sangria.

Haro, La Rioja
La Rioja is the número uno wine making district of Spain, it has over 500 wineries and is only a short distance from Bilbao. If you’ve been lucky enough to find a bottle of La Rioja in your hands you’ll know what we’re talking about! La Batalla del Vino takes place on a hillside vineyard just outside the village of Haro, a walk up the hill from our campsite.
If you choose to combine San Vino Wine Fight Festival 2019 with a stay at our infamous Surf Camp in San Sebastian, then it’s just a 2.5 hour coach trip fuelled mostly by wine drinking and singing. If you’re combining the trip with a Barcelona stay at Costa Brava for example, then the journey is a little longer but that just means even more wine drinking and singing.

How to get there
Take the bus from Madrid, Barcelona or San Sebastian on the June 28, or make your own way to Haro. Check Omio for the best deals on flights, buses and trains. If you fly choose either Bilbao or Biarritz airports. From Bilbao airport there are regular buses to San Sebastian. To get to San Sebastian from Biarritz International Airport take a French SNCF train to Hendaye, change to the nearby Euskotren station (located just outside the SNCF station) and take a Euskotren to San Sebastian. Each train ride is between 30-40 minutes, with the total train trip cost less than €10. A coach service also exists between Biarritz airport and the Hendaye train station, via Saint-Jean-De-Luz (change buses there). The coach ride is less than one hour and costs about €4. You can then reach Haro from San Sebastian-Donostia by bus or train.

Reviews
I went to San Vino with Stoke Travel last year and it was the best festival I have ever been to! The Stoke campsite is within walking distance to the street parties, which go all night, and it has a pool! We partied with the locals and got an authentic Spanish Fiesta experience. The festival itself was incredible! Stoke has buses going right up to the where the Wine Fight begins and then you can spend as long as you like there. I would definitely recommend this festival and Stoke Travel to anyone.
Olivia
Went to San Vino this year and had a blast. The stoke team was just that, frothing on pure stoke! Crazy times in the small traditional village and the campsite was on point! Already signed up for Tomatina and next year’s San vino. Cheers to the Stoke team.
Niels
