The story

Omodos Wine Festival in Omodos

Omodos Wine Festival runs from late August into September in this cobbled Troodos mountain village, with free wine tastings from family-run wineries using indigenous Cypriot grapes including Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, Mavro and Ofthalmo, hands-on grape stomping, traditional food and live folk music and dance throughout the festival.

Barefoot grape stomping remains a genuine, hands-on activity at the Omodos Wine Festival rather than a staged photo opportunity alone, with visitors invited to step into the vats themselves during a festival that runs from late August into September in this cobbled Troodos mountain village encircled by terraced vineyards.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Omodos is genuine, participatory grape stomping alongside free tastings built specifically around indigenous Cypriot grape varieties, Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, Mavro and Ofthalmo, grown in the terraced vineyards directly encircling the village, rather than the international grape varieties found in many commercial wine regions

02

The mystery stays covered

Layering the festival onto Omodos's own independent reputation as one of Cyprus's most visited traditional mountain villages, known for its cobbled streets regardless of any festival date, gives visitors a combined wine and heritage-tourism destination in one trip
