The new-old storyThis cultural treasure named wine is not something new in our island. It follows ancient routes through vineyards, filled with legends like no other on the planet.
Testament to this legacy are the countless archaeological finds: unique mosaics depicting Bacchus, the mythological God of Wine, ancient wine press in Omodos, Lania and clay jars with inscriptions of their dates of production, that take us centuries back.
All events will be held in memory of the Oenologist, Dr. Akis Zambartas.
