The grape industry of Bauang started on the year 1972 by Mr. Avelino Lomboy, the “Grape King of the Philippines”. He pioneered in the cultivation of grapes, guapples and dragon fruits and later became a big name in the field of agriculture. After decades, other grape growers established their own farms to attract more tourists. Now, we have 61 grape growers from Barangay Urayong, Bagbag, Santiago, and Payocpoc Sur.
Experience the Grape Picking Adventure in Bauang that offers instagramable moment of yours. Enjoy Pick and Pay and have your Boodle fight under the grape vines full of grape fruits.
STS. PETER AND PAUL PARISH CHURCH AND THE SAN PEDRO BELL
The very antique church of Bauang, Sts. Peter and Paul Church, founded by the Augustinian friars in 1850 is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. Many couples choose to have their marriage solemnized in this church because it has the longest aisle in La Union with a measurement of 53.43 meters in length and 1.6 meters in width and the bride and groom with their entourage enjoy marching along the aisle.
The 400 year old San Pedro Bell which stayed in New York City for the last 115 years was returned to its rightful place last May 23, 2016. It is now displayed in front of the Sts. Peter and Paul Church and tourists enjoy taking their pictures with the San Pedro Bell. History proved that this bell was originally presented to Friar Mariano Garcia on behalf of Sts. Peter and Paul in 1883 by Gobernadorcillo Mariano Balancio and Lt. Col. Hilario Calica. A concelebrated thanksgiving mass led by Bishop Rodolfo Beltran was held after which the historical bell was jointly rung by Major Dennis Wright and Mayor Eulogio Clarence Martin de Guzman III to announce the lasting friendship between the Americans and the Filipinos.
