A fantastic way to explore with a local! A guide from our team will pick you up from a Larnaca location of your choice and you’ll be driven into the Troodos mountain countryside to the cheese-making workshop of a village local to learn the traditional technique of halloumi and anari cheese making.

This hands-on workshop ends with a traditional sit-down experience where you'll enjoy a delicious brunch which will include the cheeses made plus lots more. We’ll then continue our journey into the scenic mountain villages to visit 3 further foodie locations** (e.g. honey / traditional sweets / donkey milk products / chocolates / olive oil / wine / etc.).

Any applicable entrance fees, tasting fees, door-to-door transport, traditional brunch, coffee & drinks are all included in the tour price. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WORK WITH MANY HALLOUMI PRODUCERS & THE STATED ITINERARY IS AN EXAMPLE ROUTE THAT WE OFFER. THE ACTUAL ACTIVITY MAY TAKE PLACE IN A DIFFERENT VILLAGE / AREA.

Pickup Point

Pickup Details

We offer door-to-door transport from almost any Larnaca location including hotels, airbnbs, private accommodation, landmarks etc. We can also offer pick-up or drop-off at Larnaca airport if this makes your participation more convenient. If you do not see your pickup location on the list at the time of booking - please go ahead with your booking and in the unlikely case that we cannot fulfil the pick-up - a full refund will be processed. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CRUISE SHIP PASSENGER BOOKINGS THROUGH VIATOR / TRIPADVISOR - PLEASE CONTACT US DIRECTLY. This tour runs on specific dates - if the available dates aren't suitable and you would like to take part in a food / wine experience on another day then please check Cyprus Taste Tours for our other options as we have activities running on every day of the week. PLEASE NOTE: We offer bespoke journeys into the Troodos mountain range and therefore the itineraries stated are subject to change with the season and the locals available to host us. The timings are a guideline and if you must be back at your accommodation at a certain time - YOU MUST LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. PLEASE NOTE: The Troodos mountain range spans Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia and it is in the mountainous areas of these districts that you find the rural villages of Cyprus. This tour DOES NOT visit Troodos Square and will only visit various villages within the Troodos mountain region. We keep our tours authentic by visiting true locals and because these local villagers are busy with every day life – we cannot guarantee which stops we’ll be visiting after the cheese-making workshop... However, here’s an example list of products - honey / traditional sweets / wine / donkey milk products / carob honey.

Free cancellation

Cancel up to 1 day before for a full refund.

No refund within 1 day of the experience or no-shows.

A fun day trip

Really good tour! Maria our guide made the experience very enjoyable - she was fun and informative. Would recommend for halloumi fans and those wanting to experience a day outside of a city.

Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour - great experience

Went on the Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour with this company. From the early stages of booking, I felt completely at ease in communicating with them via WhatsApp. They were very attentive, courteous and accommodating when we needed to change the pick-up location and adding another member. On the morning of the tour, the lovely Helena picked us up and was our guide for the day. She was really nice, kind and informative all throughout the day and we were very comfortable with her. Loula and...read more

Brilliant day out with Taste of Cyprus

An excellent well organised trip that was not only great fun but also informative. Punctual pick ups, very safe drivers and our guide Theodora was a local and experienced in providing everything we needed for the trip. We had a great time making the halloumi, a delicious brunch with coffee and lemonade and cold bottled water was available during the trip. We enjoyed tasting local honey, olive oils and donkey milk products! Spectacular views of the mountains and the day finished with feeding don...read more

Memorable experience

We had an absolutely amazing day with Cyprus Taste Tours. Our guide, Maria, was great – incredibly knowledgeable about both Cypriot food and the country's landscape, while also being super friendly and easy to chat to throughout the day. As it was just me and my partner on the tour, it felt really personal, almost like having our own private tour. The halloumi-making experience with Loula was a real highlight. She allows you to get involved in the process (we were arms deep in halloumi) and tr...read more

Great Tour

It was a truly pleasant experience — probably the best tour I’ve taken in the past few years. Considering what you pay and what you get, it’s not expensive at all. We visited five perfectly chosen places, plus had lunch, and the time spent at each stop was very well planned — not too long, but just enough to explore and enjoy each location. The tour had a friendly, almost private atmosphere. There were only five tourists, including me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel like a solo traveler i...read more
