Limassol wine festival takes place for about ten days usually starting around 1st September each year.
The Wine Festival is an event which has direct connection with humanity.
It has been an activity of the human race since ancient times when similar feasts were held related to wine.

The Wine Festival in Lemesos (Limassol) can be regarded as a variant in some way; as a revival of ancient festive manifestations of worship in honor of Dionysus, the god of vine and wine, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love.
During these feasts the man worshipped the gods but primarily enjoyed himself.

Situated where the rolling foothills of the Troodos mountains meet a short flat plain, between the two ancient city-kingdoms of Amathus and Kourion, modern-day Lemesos (Limassol) has grown along a 15 km coastline to become Cyprus’ second largest city. It is the island’s main port, the centre of the wine industry and a bustling holiday resort with a choice of luxury hotels and entertainment spots, lining the coast and linked by a promenade. Lemesos is known for the variety of its nightlife, from tavernas with Greek bouzouki music, to modern discos and steamy nightclubs. Restaurants and tavernas abound, serving a range of local, regional and international dishes. The old town, with its medieval castle, the site of the royal wedding in the Middle Ages between Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria of Navarre, radiates out from the old fishing harbour. Many important antiquities, Byzantine and Frankish monuments are found in the Lemesos area, evidence of its long history. Having a fun-loving reputation, Limassolians stage some of the island’s best- known festivals, such as the annual Wine Festival in September, when the various wineries offer free samples of their products and the Carnival in February with masquerade parties and a grand parade.
