Vasilikon Winery Cyprus

Vasilikon barThe place was deserted when we arrived at 10 am. We were greeted by Tina from South Africa whom was nice but she seemed not to be too passionate about wines in general. The new facility (they moved 3 years earlier to this place) was nice, a bit modern for our taste but the views exceptional. I can imagine that in spring when it is warmer, the experience would be better.

Vasilikon winesAll 4 wines were okay, especially considering the price (5-10 euros).  The white and rose were so-so. The red was tasty and a bit spicy with a nice aftertaste of pepper. The last red wine was the best and the only one matured in oak. Since Tina was alone at the facility, no food or snack was offered and we could not see the production facility nor the wine-cellar.

The last award posted on the wall was before the move to the new facility and except of the last red, all others were produced after the move.

The tasting was free of charge.

 

 

 

Getting there and away:
The trip was quite nice we took bus (648) from Polis to Kathikas (4 busses day). It is an easy 1,2 km walk to the Vasilikon winery from the main square and from there you can easily walk the 3 km to the Sterna Winery (Click here for the review of this winery) and then over and around the Hills (unpaved roads) to Giolou. Take bus 645 back to Polis (every hour). Please note that google maps does not show the trails but Bing maps does provide the trails (see picture).Sterna to Giolou

One of the many great views during the walk:
