The Wine Festival is
since 1961 one of the
featured events in
Limassol which is
considered the
Cypriot capital of
wine. The festival is
organized in the
public garden of
Limassol and lasts for
12 days. The Wine Festival is inspired by the ancient festivals
in honour of the god Dionysus and honours the long tradition of
winemaking in Cyprus. The giant figure of a traditional Cypriot
at the entrance of the public gardens during the festival
welcomes local and foreign visitors. At the festival the visitors
can try the Cypriot wines and traditional Cypriot food. There is
a small entrance fee. Visitors can taste wine for free. You can see
a traditional wine press, traditional dances and songs and
dramatic performances. There is also a museum with items
which people used many years ago to make wine.
