I could write novels about Cypriot wines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winemaking is a tradition that goes back centuries and rumours say that Cypriots were among the first winemakers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has to be a grain of truth in it as they are pretty good at their craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To their credit, the weather<\/a> has something to do with it. Cyprus<\/a> is blessed with over 360 days of sunshine and pretty good conditions for growing vines at higher altitudes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made it my mission, while living in Cyprus<\/a>, to visit every winery<\/a> on the island and taste all these wonderful grapes have to offer. I came pretty close I have to say! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for some activities during your holiday in Cyprus, wine tasting should be at the top of your list! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But please beware – you will find lots of articles online about winery experiences and in my opinion, they are mostly sponsored by larger wineries and feel very much like a crowded tourist experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are dozens of family wineries and businesses around the island that offer a much more personal experience, and in almost all cases – a better wine quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I and my husband tasted everything that we could get our hands on until we settled on our absolute favorite – Kolios winery<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved the wines so much that we specifically requested them to be served at our wedding in Cyprus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I compiled a list of my favorite wine tasting experiences around the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visited each and every one of them in person and would not recommend something just because I would see it written somewhere online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with that out of the way, let’s dig in (feel free to enjoy with a glass of wine if the hours permit it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
