You know you’re due for a change of scenery when you can drive to your usual Saturday spot without remembering a single turn. This weekend, give the group chat an actual plan. Pick a village, put someone in charge of the playlist, and head out for a glass of wine.
There’s more than one way to make an afternoon of it. At a winery, you can try a few local varieties side by side and finally work out what you like about Xynisteri. At a village wine bar, the agenda can be as simple as a glass, something to nibble on and a conversation that lasts longer than you meant it to. And if your friends tend to ask what’s for lunch before you’ve even left Nicosia, make a restaurant with a good wine list the main event.
The nice thing about a wine outing in Cyprus is how quickly it can feel like a day away. One minute you’re picking someone up in town, the next you’re winding through the hills and debating whether you have room in the boot for a few bottles. You probably do.
Choose one stop or make a day of it. If you’re going for a tasting, check whether you need to book and sort out who’s driving before anyone starts studying the wine list.
