My contribution to the Litfest Local Hero theme is the monastrell grape

As originally conceived this was to be a bi-annual event but such was the enthusiasm it has run every year since the first festival in 2013.
The chefs and food writers get most of the publicity but there is always a lively drinks element which ties in neatly with fine quality beers, spirits and wines available in the big shed including natural wines, organic ciders and so on.
