People enjoying wine on a cyprus winery tour

Cyprus Winery Tours

The Mediterranean is one of the best places in the whole world to create delicious wine that is known the world over and Cyprus is no exception. They have a long history of wine-making that is believed to go back as far as 6000 years, so they know what they’re doing!

There are many wineries in Cyprus but not all of them run scheduled tours. Here we have listed everything from winery tours, tasting sessions, and combi tours (with food and other activities also included). Many of these experiences have pick-up options from multiple locations so make sure to have a read-through to see if the tour is available near you!

#1 Vino Venture

Three wineries, meze lunch in a traditional taverna, a stop at the gorgeous Omodos village, and door-to-door drop-off in multiple locations across the island… This is the best Cyprus winery tour full stop.

We did multiple visits to the Troodos mountains during our stay in Cyprus and it is the perfect location for a relaxing day sipping incredible wine in the cool sun. This is especially true during the summer as the mountains are much cooler than the baking coastline so everyone can enjoy the experience without worrying about the searing heat.

#2 The Grape Escape!

So, you took a look at the Vino Venture Cyprus winery tour above and you thought to yourself ‘that’s a little expensive, if only there was a slightly cheaper alternative but almost as good?’. Well, that’s exactly what they thought so they created The Grape Escape!

This is essentially exactly the same as the Vino venture tour above but with one less winery visit, a smaller lunch, and a slightly shorter tour duration. You still get to experience the incredible Troodos mountains, taste gorgeous wine, and stroll through the famous Omodos village.

#3 Etel Winery Experience

If you are staying in the north of the country then Cyprus winery tours are slightly harder to come by. Luckily, the relatively new Etel winery has a fantastic experience available. They offer pick-up and drop-off from anywhere in the Kyrenia area and you will stop off at the Kozan Experience to capture some stunning views along the way.

The tour itself includes 6 different unique wines and a very highly-rated lunch at the winery. You will also learn all about the making process, right from the planting all the way to the bottling of the wine. Click here for more information, availability, and prices!

#4 – Oenou Yi Winery

As you can imagine, quite a significant amount of the cost for the Cyprus winery tours above are the transport fees to get up into the Troodos mountains. However, if you have your own vehicle or you are staying up in Omodos then you can save a lot of money by booking the tour without transport.

The Oenou Yi Winery is a very famous spot to enjoy incredible wine and was probably our favorite winery during our stops in Omodos. Booking with the winery will get you the tasting and the guided tour which last around 45 minutes. This is definitely the option if you do not require transport! Click here for the price, availability, and more!

#5 Tsangarides Winery

In the heart of Lamona village in the Troodos mountains lies Tsangarides winery. Another brilliant package for anyone with their own transport of anyone staying in the hills. The winery itself is located around 30 minutes from Paphos so it is also a great option if that is where you are staying.

For your money, you get 7 different wines to taste alongside a hearty cheese and bread platter. As you will see, this package is also considerably cheaper than the multi-winery tours above so if you are looking for something that will not break the bank then this is a great option.

Are you staying in Larnaca? Then this 8-hour Cpyrus winery tour will pick you up and take you into the Troodos mountains to visit 3 wineries, the wine museum, and a picturesque stop at the beautiful Omodos village. This experience is a private tour and you pay per group of 4 people. You can, of course, go with less than that but this works out to be more expensive per person so keep that in mind.

The wineries you will visit are the Ktima Vassiliades Winery, Ktima Gerolemo, and Lambouri Winery.

This is a truly private and intimate experience where you will be able to ask any questions you like at your own pace.

However, if a boat cruise to the Blue Lagoon with wine tasting and BBQ included sounds like your perfect adventure then don’t waste any more time and jump on this Blue Lagoon wine-tasting boat now!

Where To Stay For Your Cyprus Winery Tour

The best locations to get the most out of your Cyprus winery tour are, Paphos, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, or Germasogeia. This is because these locations have the most options. The best location among these four has to be Paphos. Paphos is the closest to the wine region of Cyprus and has the most options anywhere in the country.

Here are my top recommended accommodation options for these 4 locations and below that is a map to see what accommodation is available on your chosen dates!

Other Things To Do In Cyprus

Blue Lagoon

As I have said before in this article, the Blue Lagoon is a must-visit when you go to Cyprus, especially if you’re staying in Paphos. Watch the video below to see how you can get to the Blue Lagoon and our recommended activities! If you are interested in getting the self-drive boat that we did then you can find it here!

Baths Of Aphrodite

The Baths of Aphrodite are not all that interesting in themselves but the Adonis Trail that is in the same area is well worth the visit. Watch our video below to see what I mean, the views could be the best in all of Cyprus.

Are The Baths of Aphrodite in Cyprus REALLY Worth A Visit?

Boat Trips

There are loads of boat trips available all over Cyprus. We only went to the Paphos region so you can have a look at our best Paphos boat trips here. If you are not in Paphos then I highly recommend finding a boat trip nearby, especially one of the evening dinner cruises if you are a couple.

Buggy Rental

If you are wanting to go up into the Akamas region, to see the incredible Lara Beach or just to see the beautiful wilderness then what better way to do this than on an off-road buggy?! Take a look at how you can do that here!


What To Take To Cyprus

You’re probably going to be in Cyprus during one of its many hot months so here is a list of our recommended packing essentials that you should have in your bag for your trip to Cyprus. The list is updated regularly so all of the products are available right now!

If you need some sunglasses then take a look at our recommended pair right here. Kev has just done 7 months without a pair because he couldn’t find any he liked on the trip and it was just a lot of complaining about the sun. Don’t be a Kev… Find out the price of not being a Kev right here.

If you haven’t already got a swimming costume then what the hell are you doing?! Have a look at this gorgeous high waist bikini and get a swimsuit before you leave. I absolutely love the dual colour option but there are loads of colour options available. Take a look here.

Travelling with hundreds of books isn’t feasible, so packing a Kindle is a no-brainer! The latest Paperwhite has a 6.8″ display so it’s much better than reading on your phone. There’s also a warm backlight and an incredible 10 weeks of battery life! This version is even waterproof so you can relax by the pool with peace of mind. I’ve had my Kindle for 10 years and it’s still perfect – this is a purchase that will last you a lifetime! Check out the full specs here.

If you’re in the market for an action camera then our current recommendation is the GoPro Hero 9. Yes, the Hero 10 is currently the flagship but it doesn’t have that much more than the Hero 9 and costs a lot more. The front-facing screen is a godsend for selfies and video and you get the famous GoPro durability and stabilisation that they are now renowned for. Check out current deals here.

If you’re worried about powering your devices on your trip then the simple solution is to take this EPIKA worldwide travel adapter. We have used it all over the world and it has worked flawlessly. Being able to charge up to 5 devices by USB (4 USB-A’s + 1 USB-C) plus a full power outlet socket is incredibly useful and works as an all-in-one solution. Check it out on Amazon here.

If you’re looking for a snorkel kit then check out this Greatever mask and snorkel. We have been on so many snorkel and boat tours where the snorkel hire was dreadful and it ruins the experience. If you have room then definitely take your own set. Take a look at our recommended kit here.

Don’t even think about stepping out in the sun without protection! This factor 50 sun cream from Sunbum is vegan, reef-safe and smells like summer, as well as being dermatologist approved! It’s non-greasy, easy to apply and doesn’t leave a white cast so you can quickly rub it in and get on with your adventures! Take a look on Amazon here.

If you’re stuck on what kind of towel to take with you then take a look at this microfibre poncho. We absolutely love ours and it is insanely helpful when you need to change on the beach. They dry fast and pack down super small so you’ll be able to fit one in your day pack easily enough. Check out the price here.

If you’re planning on going to the beach then make sure you have some flip-flops in the bag. There is nothing worse than getting sand in your shoes or socks and there is nothing better than feeling the sand on your feet. We recommend an affordable pair like these Old Navy casual flip-flops. They will get the job done and shouldn’t break almost immediately as other brands might. Check them out in more detail here.

If you don’t have a camera then I HIGHLY recommend the Panasonic Lumix ZS70K. It is an affordable point-and-shoot camera that can be picked up and used by anyone of any ability. The camera captures gorgeous images and surprisingly excellent video whilst fitting in your pocket. The main difference between this and your phone’s camera is that it also has an incredible optical zoom so you won’t miss any of the shots you need to take. Check it out here.
