Limassol’s wine festival was slated to begin on Saturday night, with plenty of music, food, and of course wine, to last for the week-long cultural event.

This year marks the 62nd wine festival and will begin at the city’s municipal garden Marios Tokas. Energy Minister George Papanastasiou will attend the opening ceremony at 7:30pm, which will include traditional dance and music.

Throughout the celebrations, there will be five taverns with music, along with street food vendors.

There will also be a collectible ‘Wine from the Wine festival’ bottle, for sale for €10.

Limassol’s bus company is offering free rides to the wine festival, while the deputy tourism ministry has organised free buses from Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and Ayia Napa.
