Tsiakkas Winery — Attraction in Pelendri

The view is amazing, the wine tasting offers you three wine options (white Sauvignon, rose Rodinos and red Mouklos), commandaria wine and zivania. Local wine was quite strong in taste and smell. Commandaria was very nice. The sommelier provided a brief overview of each wine and gave advice which food suits each wine. However, the wine tasting is not personalised: you need to wait quite some time between tasting of different wine types. Also, their kitchen closes at 16:30 strictly. So, if you are 1 minute late (how we were), at 16:31 it is impossible to get the platter (cheese, meat, fruit and vegetables), even though it does not require anything to be cooked (just cut)… so they will refuse your order. When we asked to make an exception because we waited long time to be served between tastings, the sommelier was quite rude saying that the tasting should be the pace it was and that he does not need to rush to serve us quickly because that was the policy of the winery (I made the reservation for wine tasting online in advance). He pointed out that maybe we did not visit any other wineries and not aware of the way they perform wine tasting. However, we did have previous experience of wine tasting, and it was completely different...

Really disappointing 😞 we have been to many wineries in Cyprus and nowhere have we seen such a non-customer-oriented service. We arrived at 15:20 only to be told that we don't have too long before they close and we should hurry. After asking for the toilets, we were pointed towards the building under construction and had to find our own way around building materials and up the dark staircase into the dark toilets with no locks. Upon returning we were ready to order, my only request was to swap Zivania in the set for another taste of dry wine, to which I was told it wasn't possible, and that I could only order another wine for an extra €2. We haven't tried the wine and just left after that. Maybe the wines are good, but we had much better service at free tastings countrywide. 2.5 hours later we stopped at Zenon winery and had the tasting of our lifetime (free one too) leaving with quite a few bottles of lovely white wines. The view is pretty though, I'll...

Highly recommended!

We went there in August 2020 and we were amazed by the whole experience.

The place has a beautiful view of the vineyards and the tour was very informative and precise.

I loved the fact how the entire family found their way and got occupied in the winery in different positions based on their expertise.

Particularly amazed by the courtesy of the young daughter who focuses on the production of vegan cheeses and had her own impact into turning all their wines into vegan.

Their zivania is something very unique both the taste and the colour is something you cannot find elsewhere and has received several awards.

The wine tasting was really enjoyable; Andreas the youngest son of the family was very friendly, he explained everything to the point and answered all our...
