Wine in Cyprus

Wine in Cyprus

Pafos produces many quality wines which can and do compete very favourably on the international wine stage, and we also lay claim to being the oldest country in the world when it comes to the art of wine making with production here going back as far as 6,000 years. This also means we have the oldest grape varieties, and we have also brought in foreign varieties adapted to suit the ever changing tastes of wine drinkers such as Chardonnay, Semillon, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wineries here are mainly family run and they do welcome visitors to come and have a sampling of their wines and you can also buy wines direct from the winery. Our restaurants and hotels make every effort to promote our local wines so look out on menus for wines made by the following local wine families. Tsangarides winery, Vouni Panagia winery, Fikardos winery, Ezousa winery, Vasilikon winery.
