The Vineyards

Enjoy new flavors and experience a unique agrotourism/wine tourism/gastronomic experience

Oenou Yi Winery focuses on preserving Omodos’ tradition of wine, exploiting the unique altitude of the area that contributes significantly to the development of the vineyards. Having the Omodos’ terroir as a special ally, priority is given to the native varieties of Cyprus, such as Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, Giannoudi, while also exploiting international varieties, such as Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.

Amphitheatrically planted vineyards spread their roots deep in white limestone soils in search of the most wanted moisture. Rocky soil is what ultimately offers the much sought-after mineral notes in wine. The fruit of highland vineyards is different from the rest, developing more tasteful flesh, rich structure and intense acidity.

With exuberant expertise and ‘meraki’ (Greek word used to describe the soul, creativity or passion put into your endeavour); and by following the long tradition of the land of Omodos, “Oenou Yi” contributes to the history and continuity of the local wine production.

Under the motto “Honouring our heritage, continuing our tradition”, the winery comprehends and favours the connection of wine with culture, promoting both. History conferences and cultural events, school visits, educational tours and book publishing, all contribute to the promotion of Cypriot culture.

Overlooking the green slopes of the area, where the vineyards ripen, exploiting the special terroir of Omodos, Oenou Yi Winery promises to entice you both to a unprecedented discovery of senses, as well as a unique cultural experience.
