Read full details

Limassol's wine festival is Cyprus's longest-running festival, held annually at the Limassol Municipal Gardens since 1961. Each edition runs for around two weeks, with tastings, food stalls and live music celebrating the region's winemaking history, which stretches back more than 4,000 years on the island.

Local producers pour their wines alongside food vendors selling traditional Cypriot dishes, and the gardens host live performances through the evenings. The festival grounds are open to the public, in a format the event has kept largely unchanged since it was first organised by a group of Limassol wine enthusiasts.

It remains one of the city's best-attended annual events, drawing both Limassol residents and visitors staying on the south coast.

What to expect

Wandering Mediterranean gardens with wine stalls, live music, Cypriot meze platters, and the chance to discover island wines directly from producers. Relaxed, festive atmosphere perfect for evening visits.
