Chungcheongbuk-do Town to Celebrate Grapes!

Korea’s largest grape producer, Yeongdong-gun of Chungcheongbuk-do Province, will be hosting the 2011 Yeongdong Grape Festival from August 26th to 28th under theme of “The Very Special Moment Shared with Your Family, Friends and Lovers.” At the festival, visitors will be able to pick grapes off vines or fish them out of a pool to take home, produce wine under the instruction of master winemakers, or try grape-flavored snow cones and chocolate, all for small fees. Meanwhile, in the evening, the festival will present free magic shows, fireworks and bubble shows for the whole family to enjoy.
