Wein- und Halloumi-Erlebnis Zypern-Geschmäcker in den Bergen probieren
Beschreibung
Unsere Touren zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie persönlich, authentisch und immersiv gestaltet sind. Mit kleinen Gruppen und einem entspannten Tempo genießen die Gäste mehr als nur Sightseeing - sie verbinden sich mit den Traditionen, Aromen und Menschen Zyperns. Als Ortskundiger Reiseleiter teile ich Geschichten und Einblicke, die jeden Halt zum Leben erwecken, von historischen Klöstern über familiengeführte Weingüter bis hin zu Hallumi-Produzenten. Im Gegensatz zu Standardausflügen heben unsere Erlebnisse verborgene Juwelen und echte Begegnungen hervor, die bei größeren Touren oft verpasst werden. Reisen ist komfortabel mit unserem Fahrzeug mit der Aufschrift Wild Wheels – Cyprus Winery Tours, was die Abholung einfach und einladend macht. Jedes Detail, von Weinproben bis zu kulturellen Besuchen, ist sorgfältig ausgewählt, um den wahren Geist der Insel widerzuspiegeln. Es ist mehr als eine Tour, es ist eine Reise in das zyprische Kulturerbe, wo Gäste schmecken, lernen und bleibende Erinnerungen mit nach Hause nehmen. Für Verfügbarkeit rufen Sie bitte vor der Buchung an.

Reiseverlauf
Das Weingut Tsangarides liegt im ruhigen Dorf Lemona und verbindet zyprische Tradition mit moderner Weinbereitung. Das familiengeführte und für seine herzliche Gastfreundschaft bekannte Anwesen ist einer der Pioniere Zyperns im ökologischen Weinbau und produziert Auszeichnungen aus einheimischen Trauben wie Xynisteri und Maratheftiko sowie internationalen Sorten wie Shiraz und Cabernet. Die Besucher sind herzlich eingeladen, intime geführte Verkostungen zu genießen und die Aromen Zyperns neben leichten lokalen Köstlichkeiten zu entdecken. Der aus Stein erbaute Keller und die Terrasse bieten eine rustikale und dennoch elegante Umgebung mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf die Weinberge und die Ausläufer des Troodos. Nur eine kurze Fahrt von Paphos entfernt ist das Weingut Tsangarides eine Sehenswürdigkeit für Reisende, die authentische Kultur, malerische Schönheit und die wahre Essenz des zyprischen Weins suchen.
Im malerischen Dorf Axylou, in der Nähe von Paphos, führt die Axylou Halloumi Factory eine der ältesten kulinarischen Traditionen Zyperns fort. Seit Generationen produzieren zyprische Familien halloumi, einen Käse aus Ziegen- und Schafmilch, der für seine einzigartige Textur und seine Fähigkeit, ohne Schmelzen zu grillen oder zu frittieren, geschätzt wird. Bei Axylou wird dieses Kulturerbe durch eine familiengeführte Molkerei bewahrt, die traditionelle Rezepte mit modernen Standards verbindet und authentischen Geschmack und Qualität gewährleistet. Besucher werden eingeladen, die Geschichte von halloumi, seine kulturelle Bedeutung im zyprischen Leben und wie es über Jahrhunderte weitergegeben wurde zu erfahren. Das Highlight ist die Verkostung : warme, frisch zubereitete Halloumi serviert mit lokalem Brot und Kräutern. Einfach, rustikal und lecker bietet es Gästen einen echten Geschmack von Zypern und eine Verbindung zu den ländlichen Traditionen der Insel.
Das Chrysorrogiatissa-Kloster liegt in den Bergen in der Nähe des Dorfes Panagia und ist eine der wertvollsten spirituellen Stätten Zyperns. Sie wurde 1152 vom Mönch Ignatios gegründet und ist der Muttergottes vom Goldenen Granatapfel geweiht. Sie bewahrt eine verehrte Ikone der Jungfrau Maria, die angeblich vom heiligen Lukas gemalt wurde. Die steinernen Gebäude des Klosters, die ruhigen Innenhöfe und der Panoramablick schaffen einen Rahmen von Schönheit und Ruhe. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte hat sie wertvolle Ikonen, Manuskripte und Kunstwerke bewahrt, die in turbulenten Zeiten als Symbol für Widerstandsfähigkeit und Glauben stehen. Heute ist Chrysorrogiatissa ein aktives Kloster, in dem die Traditionen des Gebets und der Hingabe fortgeführt werden. Besucher können das kulturelle Kulturerbe erkunden, seine Kunst bewundern und sogar Weine probieren, die in seinem eigenen Klosterweingut hergestellt werden und Spiritualität mit Zyperns alter Weinherstellungsgeschichte verbinden.

Lovely half-day excursion into the mountains. We loved the winery tour & the halloumi production. The monastery was interesting & the views were spectacular. Reno was a wonderful guide
Dear Denise, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the combination of Cyprus’s beautiful sea and mountain landscapes along with its rich culture and heritage. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable journey across Cyprus! Warm regards, Reno G
Today, Dec 29th, my wife and I joined the Wine and Halloumi Experience Taste Cyprus Flavors in the Mountain, and it was a delicious exploration of wine and cheese! The tour operator took us through an amazing stunning mountain scenery. First stop - Tsangarides Winery Our tour started with a visit to a lovely vineyard where we got to taste some excellent local wines - Xynisteri and Maratheftiko. Second stop - Axylou Halloumi Cheese Factory Next up was the Halloumi tasting, and I must say, it was a highlight! The host showed us how this traditional cheese is made and then enjoyed several preparations of Halloumi along with delicious accompaniments. Third stop was a surprise stop offered by the tour operator – Elaiones Stagona Olive Oil Farm Have you tasted Cyprus olive oil? If yes, you know I am writing about a symphony of flavors and aromas coming together in a well designed bottle... if no, please go visit Stagona while in Cyprus. Fourth stop - Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery Tour ended on a spiritual tone with a visit to Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery - an Eastern Orthodox monastery dedicated to 'Our Lady of the Golden Pomegranate' (Panagia Chrysorrogiatissa). The monastery was founded in 1152 by monk Ignatios who discovered a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary off the shore of Paphos... legend has it that it was thrown into the sea in Asia Minor during the iconoclastic period and drifted by the waves all the way to Paphos. The tour was well-organized, allowing for plenty of interaction with both the tour operator and other participants. We parted the tour enriched with new knowledge about Cyprus' gems - culinary and spiritual.
Dear Niki, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and beautifully written review. We are truly delighted to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the Wine and Halloumi Experience – Taste Cyprus Flavors in the Mountain and that the day felt both delicious and enriching. It’s wonderful to know that each stop left a strong impression—from the wines at Tsangarides Winery, to the hands-on Halloumi experience, the surprise olive oil tasting, and the peaceful visit to Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery. Your description perfectly captures the essence of what we aim to offer: a journey through Cyprus’s landscapes, flavors, traditions, and spirituality. We’re especially pleased that you appreciated the organization of the tour and the opportunity for interaction, as creating a relaxed and meaningful experience for our guests is very important to us. Thank you again for choosing to explore Cyprus with us. We hope to welcome you back on another journey to discover even more of the island’s hidden gems. Warm regards, Aurelian Gheorghian
Brilliant tour with Reno, he went above and beyond to give us a great experience and we had such a fantastic day out. Really recommend!
Hello Rosie and Anna, We truly appreciate your wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the tour. We’d be happy to host you again whenever you return to Cyprus. Sincerely, Aurelian G
This was a magnificent half-day trip! Elena, the co-owner, came to pick us up exactly at the planned time. The company's bigger tour bus was fully booked to go somewhere else, but she decided to take a sedan and come to pick us up, rather than cancelling the trip. So we had a private trip! It is a nice one hour drive up to the mountains on windy roads with great scenery. The first Tsangarides winery is rather small and we were the only guests there - could have been the early morning or perks of off-season. We were given five wines to sample and we got small cheese plate to share, needless to say that both were excellent. Afterwards we had a tour in in the winery before buying a few bottles home. Next stop was the Axyloy Halloumi factory. I think it is a small family-owned business, as the premises were small and I did not see many stuff. We were given a variety of cheese and olives to sample, which were naturally delicious. The only problem was that were already full of eating the cheese platter. From there we got a pack of halloumi. The last official stop was a small monastery. It has great views to the valley and you can walk in the inner yard of the monastery. You can enter the small chapel and a small shop to buy souvenirs. There is also a small cafe. Monks seen: zero. We had some time left from the allocated duration so Elena took us to another winery, Kolios. It also has good views but the place is more industry-scale tourist spot, although it was almost empty too. Wines were good too, but the portion was slightly less than in the first place. Their specialty is is caves where they keep their wines, but it was closed because of off-season. It was a really nice trip to remember! Elena shared lots of information about the area and Cyprus in general, and gave tips where to eat in Pafos. We did also share our histories and a bit of daily lives at home.
Dear Kari and Kaneli, Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed review! 🌿 It was a real pleasure having you on our tour, and I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience — from the scenic mountain drive to the wineries, the halloumi tasting, and the peaceful monastery visit. We always do our best to make each trip special, no matter the season or group size, and I’m delighted that you appreciated the personal touch and stories shared along the way. Your kind words mean a lot to us and will surely inspire other travelers to explore the authentic flavors and traditions of Cyprus. Warmest regards, Elena & the Cyprus Winery Tours Team 🍷🇨🇾
Very nice selection of destinations we visited. You get to explore and experience a different side of Cyprus, more traditional and tucked into mountains, where you can taste a selection of local wines and homemade cheese and yogurt. Very good experience all in all, highly recommended! Not to be missed!
Hello Kinga, Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering the more traditional side of Cyprus — the mountain villages, local wines, and homemade delicacies truly make it special. It was a pleasure having you and your family on the tour, and I hope to see you again for more authentic experiences around the island! Warm regards, Aurelian G.
This trip was an absolute highlight of our time in Cyprus! The journey into the mountains was stunning, but what made it truly special was the warm welcome and personal touch throughout. Tasting fresh halloumi straight from the maker was a real treat, especially paired with the local wines. Each bite and sip came with stories that made us feel connected to Cypriot culture. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The small group size added to the intimate, authentic feel. If you want to experience the real flavors and traditions of Cyprus, this is a must-do. We left with full hearts, happy taste buds, and memories we’ll treasure!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback. Your support means a lot to us, and we’re glad we could make your experience a memorable one.
This vacation in Cyprus is a gift for my 66th birthday and retirement. So I wanted to do another second tour with Reno our driver and guide. I had an excellent experience. Highly recommended Reno, also highly recommended the tour because you can get to know the island, Cyprus from a different perspective and find out things that you certainly didn't know. Plus an advantage for spending your free time in a very pleasant way. Reno, extremely well documented.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed your experience with us and hope to welcome you again soon.
Reno is an incredible guide. He makes this tour very personable and tailors it to the age of those in the group. Because of our kids, he added a stop at a donkey farm. This was incredible. The vineyard was also wonderful, as was the cheese. We learned so much on this trip and truly enjoyed every moment. Recommend this for an opportunity to meet Cypriots and get a real feel for the island.
We truly appreciate your wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the tour. We’d be happy to host you again whenever you return to Cyprus.
