Limassol wine festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Limassol Wine festival is an annual event aimed to celebrate Cyrpus's rich viticulture. Since the first festival in 1961,[1] it is organised annually in late August to early September. It is organised by the municipality of the city of Limassol at the grounds of the municipal gardens.
It has an annual attendance in excess of 100,000 visitors that include locals and many tourists. The four big wine cooperatives (KEO, SODAP, ETKO and LOEL) along with many smaller independent producers offer free tasting of their wine portfolio.
