Nestled in the heart of Chandria, a picturesque village in the Pitsilia wine region, Ekfraseis Winery represents the modern face of Cypriot winemaking. Perched at over 1,000 meters above sea level on the eastern slopes of the Troodos Mountains, this boutique producer has become a beacon for those seeking authentic, quality-driven wines that honor Cyprus’s ancient viticultural heritage while embracing contemporary techniques. The Pitsilia Advantage: Where Altitude Meets Artistry Pitsilia has earned its reputation as one of Cyprus’s most exciting wine regions, and for good reason. The 32 villages scattered across the eastern Troodos Mountains benefit from exceptional terroir that few other regions can match. At Ekfraseis, the high-altitude vineyards create the perfect conditions for producing wines of remarkable depth and complexity. The southern slopes of Madari mountain, where Ekfraseis cultivates its vines, offer a rough, rocky terrain that challenges the vines and rewards them with character. This demanding landscape forces the root systems to work harder, concentrating flavors and creating wines with distinctive mineral qualities. The cool mountain nights preserve acidity and freshness, while the intense Mediterranean sun ensures optimal ripeness. This combination of factors creates the ideal microclimate for developing wines with both power and elegance. Indigenous Varieties: […]

Opening its doors in 2010, this architectural gem was designed by renowned Cypriot architect Yiannis Armeftis and his associates, earning recognition as an outstanding example of contemporary public architecture in Cyprus. The museum was brought to life through a collaborative effort between the Zoopiyi Community Council and was co-financed equally by national resources and the European Union’s Regional Development Fund. Its creation was inspired by the historic Zoopiyi Commandaria Winery, established in 1940 and still producing wine today, around which the museum’s narrative unfolds.

Agios Konstantinos serves as a key village within Cyprus’s historic Commandaria wine region, situated along the scenic wine route in the Limassol district. As one of the 14 designated villages legally authorized to produce this authentic wine, it is central to the creation of Commandaria, which is widely recognized as one of the world’s oldest named wines. This sweet dessert wine is produced from late-harvest Mavro and Xynisteri grapes that are sun-dried to yield intense sweetness and a rich flavor profile before being aged in oak casks. The creation of Commandaria in Agios Konstantinos Winery is defined by a deep sense of tradition, utilizing production methods that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. The process involves sun-drying the grapes, a technique known locally as apla or patsadia, before pressing, preserving a legacy that is considered living heritage. Beyond its production, the wine plays a vital economic and social role in the region, with the Cypriot government actively supporting its bid for UNESCO intangible heritage status due to its profound cultural significance.

Chatzicharalampous Winery, nestled in the picturesque village of Koilani, Cyprus, is a third-generation family-owned estate where tradition and innovation converge in winemaking. The winery’s origins trace back to the 1960s when grandfather Michalis (Takis) first planted vineyards, with the initial winery established in 1975, first in his home and later in the village center. Today, the estate is led by the third generation: Marios Chatzicharalampous (viticulturalist and former firefighter), his daughter Argyro (who holds a master’s degree in oenology from Athens Agricultural University), and son Michalis (a mechanical engineer). Notably, it is one of the few female-led wineries in Cyprus. The vineyards, cultivated by Marios, are situated around Koilani at elevations ranging from 650 meters to 1,050 meters on the renowned Afames mountain, benefiting from diverse microclimates that contribute to the complexity of the wines.

Yiaskouris Winery is a small family winery with deep roots in Pachna village, on the southern slopes of the Troodos range. The family trace their winemaking back to the late 19th century, and the modern winery presents a mix of that tradition with careful, contemporary winemaking. Their vineyards sit on Pachna’s slopes, an altitude that helps retain acidity and freshness in native varieties and in Shiraz. The estate focuses on a compact but well regarded range, with special attention given to Shiraz (including an oak‑aged bottling), Maratheftiko and a Xynisteri white, plus rosé and blended reds, all produced from estate fruit and small, controlled yields. Visitors can usually arrange tastings and tours by appointment, and the winery is known locally for producing high quality small‑batch wines rather than mass outputs. Recent listings and regional guides note the family-run character, modest production scale and several award wins for their Shiraz and white bottlings. For directory use, treat Yiaskouris as a boutique, terroir‑focused producer in Pachna that offers a personal tasting experience and wines that represent the Krasohoria mountain terroir.

KEO’s Mallia Winery estate is one of Cyprus’s long‑standing regional wineries, operating since the late 1920s (operation began around 1927–1928) and located at the entrance to Mallia village in the Limassol district.

LOEL Winery is one of the historic “big names” of Cypriot wine. Founded in Limassol in 1943, it was the first winery on the island to operate as a public company, with thousands of shareholders who were, for the most part, vine growers themselves. That cooperative spirit still defines LOEL today. From its base in Limassol and a new, state‑of‑the‑art winery at Ayios Sila, the company has grown into one of the largest producers in Cyprus, handling grapes from both the Limassol and Paphos regions and playing a major role in the island’s wine story. Over the decades, LOEL has moved from simple spirits and fortified wines made from local grapes to a very broad portfolio. The company was an early adopter of imported “noble” varieties such as Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Palomino, planting experimental vineyards to raise quality, while continuing to work with Cypriot classics like Mavro, Xynisteri, Maratheftiko and Spourtiko. Today its vineyards cover over 20 hectares and feed a range that runs from everyday wines in convenient Tetra Pak “Vinotheque” formats to bottled labels like Palomino, Evambelos Gi and Mesogios Chora, plus award‑winning Commandaria Alasia and the popular LOEL Zivania line, including Zivana Gold and Zivana Red.

This elevated location provides a unique microclimate characterized by cool evenings and significant diurnal temperature variation, which is ideal for the slow, even ripening of grapes. The winery’s name, inspired by the large monolithic rock formations nearby, reflects the strength and endurance of the family’s commitment to producing high-quality wines that express the distinct terroir of the region. Monolithos Boutique Winery is known for its dedication to both indigenous and international grape varieties. The estate manages its own vineyards and collaborates closely with local growers to cultivate grapes such as Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, and Mavro, alongside international favorites like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz.

The winery produces a diverse portfolio of wines, including crisp whites, elegant rosés, structured reds, the traditional sweet wine Commandaria, and Zivania, a Cypriot […]

LionSpirit (formerly Lambouri Winery) is a family-run boutique producer perched in Kato Platres in the Troodos foothills, with a winemaking lineage the estate dates as far back as the 18th century. Over generations the house has combined traditional Cypriot methods with modern vinification, and in recent years the estate rebranded to LionSpirit as it broadened its focus to include both premium wines and craft spirits.

The Haggipavlu family have been involved in wine since 1844, when ETKO was founded, making it the oldest winemaking business on the island and one of the oldest in the wider region. After decades focused on bulk wine, ETKO took a decisive turn toward quality, building the regional Olympus Winery in the early 1990s in the traditional wine village of Omodos in the Limassol wine region, right in the heart of the grape‑growing zone. The winery is surrounded by about 70 hectares of privately owned vineyards on the foothills of Mount Olympus, where altitude and cooler nights help preserve freshness and aroma in the grapes.
