Hello from Cyprus Taste Tours! We're a friendly team of locals all with Cypriot heritage. A group 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 Limassol 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 or Omodos (village visited will depend on our route on your specific tour date). A day full of fun & flavour is guaranteed!

Such a fun experience! The halloumi making workshop was a lot of fun, and the brunch spread was VERY delicious! Getting to see the sheep and goats was also great. We had 4 other stops that day and all were really good, especially the donkeys and the olive tasting. Demi was a great tour guide as well! I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cyprus!

The Halloumi Heaven tour was an absolute blast! The day started off making halloumi cheese which straight after was served for brunch. We even got halloumi cheese making certificates. The visit of a local bee farm, Lefkara and an olive farm made the day adventurous and exciting! The guide was so kind and charismastic. Couldn’t have booked a better tour. This tour is a must when coming to Cyprus.

A great experience in a fantastic area with so many nice stops. The tour brought us to beautiful places. Seeing and experiencing the Halloumi production first hand was a wonderful experience. Coupled with a ice wine tasting, a visit to an olive farm, the village of Lefkara and finally the donkey farm rounded up a memorable day.
Excellent taster day of Cyprus

Panikos was an excellent host- very knowledgeable and easy to listen to! We went to some fantastic places and activities including making our own halloumi, wine tasting and chocolate tasting, as well as a stop off in Omodos which was very picturesque. We really especially enjoyed eating the halloumi we had made earlier that day and the chocolatier who talked us through the process of crafting his artisan chocolate, with tasting examples! Would highly recommend this experience!

This was a full taste experience of the Cyprus cheese and other food cultures. It was a full and long day but not boring and lots of fun, like the cheese making and seeing the animals. Our experience tasting the freshly made Halloumi and Anari cheese was exceptional, the taste of the cheese can't be bought, if you don't buy it fresh from the farm. The bee-farm was very interesting and we learned a lot about our nature. The Donkey farm at the end was also very nice and if you don't think donkeys can be jealous then visit the donkey farm and check for yourself. Our guide Panico was informative, very nice and friendly and treated us as friends.
