Curious about Cyprus wineries and grape varieties? An upcoming event this weekend seeks to bring together oenophiles and some of the island’s wine producers. On Saturday, the Lions Club Nicosia Within the Walls and OinoArt organise a wine event at Eleftheria Square which has a dual mission – to support local winemakers and raise funds for the children of Agios Kasianos elementary school in old Nicosia.

But that is not all. Saturday’s wine event downtown also aims to bring tourism to the historical centre of Nicosia and in particular to the city within the walls. As such, the organisations join forces to bring the annual event back for its 10th edition. This milestone celebration not only highlights the heritage of Cypriot winemaking but also invites locals and visitors to rediscover the charm of the old town.

The event is co-organised with the Nicosia Municipality and is free to attend. The only cost to visitors will be a €5 fee to purchase their wine glass with which they will get to try dozens of wines from the more than 20 winemakers who participate in the event. Wine tasting, nibbles and music await from 4.30pm until 10pm.
