There's a delightful book that describes (modern day adaptations of) celebrations for Roman festivals - including Meditrinalia.
It's
Classical living: Reconnecting with the rituals for ancient Rome. San Francisco: Harper, by Frances Bernstein, published in 2002.
She includes various things for each festival - a bit of history, prayers and invocations, recipes, suggestions for rituals. For Meditrinalia, at the wine harvest, it was traditional to drink both old and new wine, and to pray for the healing of old and new illnesses.
Cheers, all!

Meditrinalia is an important Roman festival celebrated October 11-12. This festival honours the goddess of both healing and wine, Meditrina, as well as Jupiter as a wine-god.
This year, 2003, Meditrinalia, as well as Fontinalia, will be celebrated on this topic in October 13-15. Please participate in the planning and implementing of the Roman Autumn Fest!
