For
years, the Touring Club of Rethymnon, in collaboration with the Municipality of Rethymnon, organised the Rethymnon
Wine Festival – a 2-week celebration of Cretan wine, music and dance. An entrance fee was charged, you bought a
carafe and some glasses, and you could drink as much wine as you wanted, whilst listening to some very good Cretan
music and watching some fantastic dancing.
For several different kinds of reasons, over the last years, the wine festival did not take place every year.
In 2008 the municipality of Rethymnon has taken the decision to stop organising the Wine Festival, at least in the format that we
got to know it. The plans are to have a festival in September where the focus would be on a much wider variety of regional products.
We look forward to receive more details of this new event.
