Since January’s save the date event announcement the reaction has been positively charged, and the buzz is continuing, now with just over 50 days until the Cypriot Wine Festival & Business Expo 2019 opens its doors the team is gearing up to make the event one to remember!
The name says it all, combining a festival with a business expo, something that many exhibitions have tried to emulate but we have become veterans in this field as it is the multifaceted aspect of the event that makes it such a great place to mingle and do business. This year marks our 37th year anniversary and we believe that the longevity of the event is an achievement within itself and should be celebrated as it is important to commemorate the Cypriot presence here in the UK. In the same spirit as our predecessors, each and every year the team’s goal is to bring something different to the table.
Under the auspices of the High Commission of Cyprus in the UK, our event exhibits the beauty and wonder of Cyprus, celebrating her produce, goods and services. Many new and returning businesses have registered their interest to take part in this years Cypriot Wine Festival & Business Expo, we are proud to play host to our exhibitors who use the event as a why of extending their business network and develop relations with visitors and potential clients.
On 7 March the CyWineFest team opened the platform, for just over a month, to hear from our followers asking what their favourite Peggy Zina song is and although the voting is continuing we have a clear winner, in first place is Eimai Kala, second place, Ego Ta Spao and coming in third place Ti Th’Akouso Akoma, the truth is we are looking forward to hearing all of Peggy Zina’s songs live on stage!
