Delheim’s “Start of Harvest” Festival went off with a swing of jazz, with guests lounging around like decadent Romans feasting on bratwurst, zwiebelkuchen (a traditional German onion pie eaten at harvest time), watermelon, koeksisters, paninis, and much more. 

Around 15h00 we rounded up the six teams participating in the Survivor-style grape stomping challenge.  Each team of five were allocated a colour which they prevailed upon the assembled audience to wear.  The atmosphere was electric and fun even before the first team members set out on their assigned tasks – a relay of collecting the barrel, crossing the ditch on planks to fetch the crates of grapes, and stomping them in the barrel to extract as much juice as possible.  The team with the most juice at the end won.  This was accomplished with much noise, hilarity and cheering, and everybody left happy and vowing to come back for the harvest festival next year.
