The Cyprus Wine Club

Viktoria, Natalé and Georgia are thirty-somethings, open minded professionals with a real passion for wine. Viktoria hails from Hungary, Natalé is Cypriot South African and Georgia is Cypriot - and given that all of three of these countries have a firm tradition in wine making, that might go towards explaining our crazy love of wine.

 

The idea for Wine Wednesdays started just as you would think it would - over a glass of wine at one of our regular haunts. We decided that weekends are much too far apart and that the best way to break up a busy work week would be over a nice glass of wine with good friends, and some nice relaxing music that would allow for banter and easy conversation. In all fairness we were simply putting a name to something we'd already been doing for a few months.

 

But as we warmed up to the idea, we decided to take the Wine Wednesdays a step further. We both love local wines and have spent many a happy weekend visiting independent wineries in the villages around Limassol, "tasting" the local produce. We are not what you would call wine connoisseurs, but we certainly grew to know what we like. After all, practice makes perfect! So how great would it be, we thought, if we could get local wine producers to come and present their wines to us and our friends, allowing for regular wine tasting evenings? And that is how the Wine Club was born.

 

Once the idea got in our heads, the rest was simply a matter of getting in touch with the right people and logistics. We now hold regular Wine Wednesday evenings on the first Wednesday of every month. Each event is hosted by us at a location to be determined and communicated through our website and facebook group. It includes a small presentation of local wines by the wine makers themselves and a wine tasting of the featured wines. There is also the opportunity to buy any of the featured wines that appeal to you, directly from the producer.

 

Our Wine Club also offers a monthly wine tour to independent wineries around Cyprus. Details of upcoming tours can be found here.

 

To reserve a place on any of our events, please contact us. Places are limited so please remember to book early.

 

Hope to see you there!
