fête des vendanges de Russin


The annual harvest festival in Russin is a great festival in the Geneva countryside. We've made a tradition of going for the Sunday afternoon parade, and sampling a few wines on the sunny vineyard slopes. This year's parade was extra grand for the 50th anniversary of the festival - flag tossers, more masked marchers, and a bigger crowd. Derek and I walked to Russin, piled-up for good parade views, and then met friends to share wine and grapes and barba papa (cotton candy - thanks, Jess).
