Dafermou Winery is a modern boutique winery established in 2007, perched above the scenic Lefkara Valley in Pano Lefkara, Cyprus. The winery’s architecture harmoniously blends contemporary elements like concrete, glass, and stainless steel with traditional Lefkara building techniques, creating a unique aesthetic that bridges new and old world styles. Committed to organic production and limited-quantity winemaking, Dafermou emphasizes quality over quantity, allowing its wines to authentically express the estate’s distinctive terroir. The winery’s strategic location just seven kilometers from the Nicosia-Limassol highway makes it easily accessible for visitors seeking a tranquil yet sophisticated wine experience.
The winery cultivates over 20 grape varieties across its three vineyards in Lefkara, Vavatsinia, and Agioi Vavatsinias. This diverse selection enables Dafermou to craft a wide range of blends, with a primary focus on promoting local Cypriot grape varieties alongside well-known international grapes. Their winemaking philosophy centers on finding the perfect varietal combinations to create balanced, expressive wines that showcase the best of both indigenous and classic styles. The portfolio includes offerings like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Nebbiolo, though some labels, such as those in the Artist Series, are currently inactive.
Beyond winemaking, Dafermou Winery serves as a versatile venue for private events, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces with stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and rolling hills. Visitors can enjoy tastings and tours by appointment Monday through Saturday, immersing themselves in the winery’s serene atmosphere and learning about its meticulous approach to viticulture and enology. With its commitment to quality, innovative spirit, and deep respect for tradition, Dafermou has carved out a distinct niche in Cyprus’s evolving wine landscape.
