- Heirloom grapes and samplings — Taste dozens of grape types and the by-products that make Hebron’s harvest famous: fresh bunches, sun-dried raisins and thick grape molasses (dibs). What makes it special is that you’re tasting fruit picked that morning by small-family growers — seasonality and variety you won’t find in a supermarket. (Personal favorite: nothing beats grabbing a still-warm bunch and chatting with the farmer who grew it.)
- Live folk music and dabke — Expect live oud, percussion and groups forming spontaneous dabke lines. The music isn’t a polished stage show; it’s communal, loud, and invites everyone to join in. That immediacy and the way the whole crowd feeds off the rhythm is the festival’s heartbeat.
- Vineyard walks and harvest demos — Small guided walks through terraced

- Vineyard walks and harvest demos — Small guided walks through terraced vineyards and hands-on demonstrations of pruning, harvesting and traditional pressing. These give a real sense of ancient agricultural practices still in use today — you’ll see how the landscape and local know-how shape the grapes.
- Grape-forward street food and home cooking — Stalls and family kitchens serve seasonal dishes built around grapes: stuffed grape leaves, sweet pastries with dibs, grape juice and other rustic treats. The food here is about simple, bold flavors made from ingredients just harvested — cheap, filling and utterly local.
- Markets, crafts and light-hearted competitions — A lively market selling handmade crafts, jars of preserves, and agricultural tools, plus playful contests (biggest bunch, best molasses). It’s a great place to pick up a practical souvenir and watch local pride in action — equal parts commerce and community theatre.
