In the sixth century, the rocks around the mountain where the fight is held was home to a hermit monk. He later became the patron saint of the town of Haro. Now, people of this town celebrate San Pedro on this day at the end of June.
These mountains became a pilgrimage spot, especially on this special religious day, and after mass the pilgrims would gather for a feast, which would invariably get a little rowdy – to the point that a wine fight would break out.
While mass still does preceded the battle in regard of history, and feasting does take place afterward, the main attraction these days is the pouring of wine on each other and into one’s face.
