Wineries with Restaurants in Cyprus: Lunch, Brunch and Platters Among the Vines (2026)

Lunch at a winery is one of the best days out in Cyprus. A handful of wineries run full restaurants, others serve brunch or a sharing lunch on set days, and many more pair their tastings with platters of halloumi, lountza and village bread. Kitchens often open only on certain days, so check the days below and book ahead.

Our own picks, checked in November 2026. Opening days and hours change, especially in winter, so check before you go. Know a great place we've missed? Tell us.
