Experience Details

A small team of true foodies - our activities focus on discovering Cyprus through food & wine...


There's nothing like tasting fresh, warm halloumi straight out of the pot and on this small group tour there'll be plenty to enjoy throughout the day! You'll be picked up from a Larnaca location of your choice and driven into the Troodos mountain countryside to the cheese-making workshop of a village local. You’ll take part in the process from start to finish and the experience will end with a delicious brunch which will include the cheeses made plus lots more.


The activities don't end there as you'll be taken further into the mountain villages to visit other local producers and the quaint village of Lefkara. A day full of fun & flavour is guaranteed!


Unlike other tours - EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED / NO HIDDEN COSTS!

What You’ll Experience

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. You’ll take part in the process from start to finish while spending time with true locals. 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.). Part of our touring will be a visit to a traditional village* where you’ll have time to shop & explore. 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.

Meeting & Pickup

Pickup Point
Select a pickup point
Pickup Details
We offer door-to-door transport from almost any Larnaca location including hotels, airbnbs, private accommodation, cruise terminal, 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. 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.

Cancellation Policy

Cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the experience start time to receive a full refund minus a 3.2% transaction fee.
