Celebrating Saint Vincent, Patron Saint of Winemakers, in ...Saint Vincent of Saragossa (c. 285-304 AD) is the patron saint of winemakers, a Spanish deacon martyred under Emperor Diocletian, revered for his faith and legendary association with wine, symbolized by blood-like wine from his torture on a wine press, his name's "vin" root, and folklore about fruitful vines after his donkey pruned them. Winemakers worldwide celebrate his feast day, January 22nd, with events like Burgundy's Saint-Vincent Tournante, focusing on good harvests and shared traditions. In Burgundy, winemakers celebrate his feast day by transporting a statue of Vincent from one winemaker to another.
