Wineries in Cyprus
Choose one area, not the whole island: the Limassol hills and the Paphos hills each hold enough wineries for a day. Pick two or three in neighbouring villages, book ahead, and arrange a driver. The Book Wineries directory lists dozens of producers by district and has a day-route planner.
- Best for
- Travellers planning a tasting day and wanting to see which wineries cluster around which villages.
- How much time
- Two or three wineries and a village lunch fill a day.
In this guide
The Book Wineries directory lists producers across four districts: Limassol, Paphos, Nicosia and Larnaca. This page groups a selection by the village each is listed in, so you can build a day around one area. It is a map of where the wineries are, not a ranking: we have not visited them and we do not rate them. Confirm visiting arrangements with each winery, because the directory is the starting point and the producer has the final say.
Limassol district
Limassol has the largest number of listed wineries, spread across the hills behind the city. Build a day from one row below rather than crossing the whole district.
| Area | Wineries listed |
|---|---|
| Omodos | ETKO Olympus Winery, Ktima Gerolemo |
| Vasa and Koilani | Argyrides Vasa Winery, Vlassides Winery |
| Pera Pedi, Mallia and Doros | KEO Pera Pedi Winery, Constantinou Winery, KEO Mallia Winery, Karseras Commandaria Winery |
| Pelendri and Kyperounda | Tsiakkas Winery, Kyperounda Winery |
Paphos district
The Paphos hills are a quieter wine area, with wineries scattered across villages behind the coast.
| Area | Wineries listed |
|---|---|
| Kathikas and Lemona | Vasilikon Winery, Tsangarides Winery |
| Letymbou and Statos-Agios Fotios | Makarounas Boutique Winery, Kolios Winery |
| Panayia and Chrysorroyiatissa Monastery | Vouni Panayia Winery, Chrysorroyiatissa Winery |
| Salamiou and Kannaviou | LaGria Winery, Ezousa Winery |
Larnaca and Nicosia districts
Both districts have fewer listed wineries, and they sit further apart. They suit travellers already staying in the area rather than a dedicated wine day.
| District | Wineries listed |
|---|---|
| Larnaca district | Dafermou Winery (Pano Lefkara), Domes Sergiou Winery (Kalograia), Ktima Christoudia Winery (Kato Drys) |
| Nicosia district | Aes Ambelis (Kalo Chorio Orinis), Agios Serafim Solia Winery, The Anama Concept (Lythrodontas), Kykkos Monastery Winery |
Building a route
The directory has a day-route planner: you enter your starting point and how far you are willing to drive, and it orders the wineries within reach so you do not double back. It also gives each winery's phone number, which matters because many producers want a call or a booking first. Start at the Book Wineries route planner.
- One area per day: two or three wineries in neighbouring villages, plus a village lunch.
- Ring first: use the winery's listed phone number or website before you set out.
- Order the day: start with the producer furthest from your base and work back towards it.
- Mix styles: pair a larger producer with a small boutique one to see the range.
- Commandaria: several listed producers carry Commandaria in their names; see Cyprus wine for what it is.
How to choose a winery
- By region first: do not combine the Limassol and Paphos hills in the same day.
- By what you like: a modern producer if you want polished tastings, a village family winery if you want character, a high-altitude producer if you like crisp whites.
- By logistics: a winery that books easily and has a lunch option beats a famous name that is hard to reach.
- Questions to ask when you book: is there a tasting fee, how long does it take, is food available, and can they ship wine home?
How to plan the day
- Pick one region.
- Book each winery in advance and confirm opening.
- Arrange a driver or tour.
- Pair with lunch in a village such as Omodos.
- Buy only what you will carry or ship: ask about shipping policies.
