Situated in a beautiful location in the Troodos mountains - all the photos do it justice.
However the wines we tasted were very disappointing, though I accept we only tried the whites.
We had not reaised that formal tastings have to be booked in advance, therefore we are advised that if we wanted to try the wines we cold order it at the bar and sit there - fair enough.
However, when we requested the small 40cl tasting glasses (as advertised on the wine list) we were told that we could only have them in 120ml glasses at 8€ a glass - this is not the way to encourage customers to try a range wines !
To have tried 2 red and 2 white wines would have cost 32€ ! A bit of a culture shock when coming from France, most Vignerons offer tasting of their wines (from the smallest to the largets vinyards) entirely free of charge.
The two greek white wines (Pitsilia and Exelisis) we tried - selling at 19 & 20€ a bottle were diasppointing to say the least - bitter, sharp with an unpleasant overlaid aroma of which reminded me of glass cleaner) - there was some citrus element of grapefruit, but the bitterness / sourness overpowered everything else.
The member of staff serving us descibe them as "fresh and really rather young and ideally needing another year or two in the bottle" - I would agree, but if this is the case, do not serve it or offer it for tasting till it is ready !
Certainly I could not discern the potential of either wine
Overall, I would recommend the venue as a lovely place to visit for the views, but sadly I cannot recommend the white wines noted above and the pricing / serving policy put us off exploring the available wines further.

位于特罗多斯山脉一个美丽的地方 - 所有照片都说明了一切。
然而,我们品尝的葡萄酒非常令人失望,尽管我承认我们只尝试了白葡萄酒。
我们没有意识到正式的品酒会必须提前预订,因此我们被告知,如果我们想品尝葡萄酒,我们可以在酒吧点冷酒并坐在那里 - 足够公平。
但是,当我们要求小 40cl 品酒杯(如酒单上所宣传的)时,我们被告知我们只能将它们放在 120ml 的玻璃杯中,每杯 8 欧元 - 这不是鼓励顾客品尝各种葡萄酒的方式!
尝试 2 瓶红葡萄酒和 2 瓶白葡萄酒将花费 32 欧元!对于来自法国的人来说,有点文化冲击,大多数 Vignerons 提供完全免费的葡萄酒品尝(从最小的到最大的葡萄园)。
我们品尝了两款希腊白葡萄酒(Pitsilia 和 Exelisis),每瓶售价 19 欧元和 20 欧元,至少可以说令人失望——苦涩、刺鼻,还有一种难闻的气味,让我想起了玻璃清洁剂)——有一些葡萄柚的柑橘味,但苦味/酸味盖过了其他一切。
为我们服务的工作人员将它们描述为“新鲜且非常年轻,理想情况下需要在瓶中再放一两年”——我同意,但如果是这样的话,请不要在准备好之前提供或供品尝!
当然,我无法辨别这两种葡萄酒的潜力
总的来说,我会推荐这个地方,因为它是一个欣赏美景的好地方,但遗憾的是我不能推荐上面提到的白葡萄酒,而且定价/服务政策让我们不想进一步探索可用的葡萄酒。
