Tour DescriptionThis tour is a really unique hands on exploration of wine and chocolate. Perfect for foodies, it combines tasting, making and touring.
We travel first into the Troodos mountains with beautiful scenery, quaint villages and stunning landscapes. We will visit an award winning winery where we will have a tour and learn a little about the 5500 year old wine producing history of the island of Cyprus. We will taste several of the wines including the famous Commandaria. This rich wine dates back thousands of years and was made famous by Richard the Lionheart and his fellow crusaders. This wine is in the Guinness World Book Of Records for having the oldest ‘Appelation d’origine’ and for being the oldest manufactured wine in the world. After sampling and purchasing our Commandaria which we’ll use for our chocolate making activity, we will take a break in the forest for a delicious picnic lunch before we head back into Paphos town. We go next to a boutique chocolatier where we’ll take part in a chocolate making workshop to create delicious Commandaria truffles and experience the fantastic combination of this sweet wine with cocoa. You can take home the chocolates that you make along with fantastic memories of this day out. If you see the Book Now button below you can book this tour online.
