Medieval Wine Festival in Soave

Soave is the town famous for its wines and it is surrounded by lovely vineyards.  It is not very far from Verona.  I camped here for a few days to enjoy the festivities and thought you all might like to see a few pictures of the medieval costumes.  There was a "Fountain of Wine" where one could buy a glass of Soave White Wine for only 50 cents and then could return with the glass as many times as desired all day.  Can you imagine how that would go over in Kenmare or anywhere in Ireland?  Here the people are so used to wine that most of them just didn't bother participating and there weren't many strangers about except myself of course and I needn't tell you I enjoyed it.

Even the prisoner can get a glass from the Fountain of Wine
