Limassol has a history of wine making in Cyprus dating back to thousands of years. The famous festival takes place every year in September in the Municipal Garden of Limassol on the coastal road.
Today’s wine festival is the equivalent of the celebrations which took place in ancient times, dedicated to the God of Wine, Dionysus. The first wine festival began in 1961 offering tourists and locals a variety of Cypriot wines in an enjoyable entertaining atmosphere.
There is usually a low entry fee for the festival, which includes a bottle of Cypriot wine. Tourists can also enjoy the local cuisine at low prices accompanied with folk dancing and music.
