September
Limassol Wine Festival
Cyprus has long been famous for its vineyards and wine has been produced on the island since ancient times. The finest grapes for making wine are cultivated in the hill areas of Paphos and Limassol. Limassol is the centre of the wine-making industry and the natural home for island’s annual Wine Festival.
During the 12 day festival, which takes place in the Municipal Gardens of Limassol, many Cypriot wines are on offer. The wineries compete for the most original and well-designed stand from which to dispense their products. Every evening during the festival wine from the barrel is offered free of charge to guests (there is a CYŁ2 entrance fee) who can also watch grapes being pressed. On most evenings, musical and dance performances are held in the open-air theatre within the gardens.
