The winery tour I did with Cyprus Taste Tours was the highlight of my 9-day trip to Cyprus—I wish I could do it all over again! I did the “Troodos Vino Venture – Mountain Villages & Wineries Tour” and Irene was our guide. Not only did she do a phenomenal job, she must have the patience of a saint to deal with drunk people all day - hahaha! She took us to three completely different wineries, and we went to a beautiful mountain village for walking around, souvenir shopping, and lunch (which was plentiful and delicious)! This was also a great tour to do as a solo traveler; even though all the other people on my tour were couples, everyone was lovely and we became fast friends by the end of the day. I cannot recommend this activity highly enough, you can’t skip this on a trip to Cyprus! Definitely book ahead of time as the spots do fill up because they are so popular and awesome.Jasmijn T

It was absolutely great! Irene was so fun to talk with and she knows so much about everything from the island. We went to three winery’s and they all had their own charm. We also went to a village where wit had lunch which was great and really big, after it we wonders through the street of this white village. I would definitely recommend it if you like wine, but also want to learn about Cyprus! You will see (and taste) a lot of specials wines from Cyprus.LordFabio_G

The tour was amazing. The tour guide Irene was knowledgeable and entertaining. The day was organized majestically through 3 wineries with in the middle a perfect Meza lunch. For sure something to book and try.

I had a fantastic time on my tour on July 14th! Our guide and she was knowledgeable and friendly! She absolutely made the experience amazing! The tour is honestly one of the best way to experience the sites and sounds of Cyprus along with the tastes! We visited 3 wineries and in all had four different tastings. The wine was amazing and well presented at each stop. The winery locations were gorgeous. The lunch was the best meal I had in Cyprus by far and one of the best meal experiences I have has in all my travels. This tour is worth every penny and then some. This is the one tour you must take when visiting Cyprus!Amy_J

I really enjoyed the ride through each city as we stopped to pick up the members of our group. It gave me a chance to see the different communities of Cyprus. Theodora was our tour guide and driver, and she immediately made me feel like I was her friend. By the way, her taste in music is awesome because the playlist she had on during our ride was PERFECT! I LOVED the gorgeous views of the mountains and landscape during our ride, and getting to be among the locals in the villages and monastery. Interacting with the winery owners/hosts was fun as they all have a good sense of humor, are extremely passionate about making excellent wine (and it was EXCELLENT) and sharing it with us, AND they made us feel so welcome. For lunch we got to taste many different traditional Cypriot dishes, they just kept bringing dish after dish, and each one was so DELICIOUS! The amount of food we were brought far exceeded my expectations, and I was absolutely stuffed at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this tour, and I highly recommend it!
