Zambartas Wineries: A Taste of Cypriot Terroir

Zambartas Wineries, located in the picturesque village of Agios Amvrosios, is a testament to Cypriot winemaking tradition blended with modern innovation. Founded in 2006 by Akis Zambartas, a leading authority on Cyprus wines, the winery has quickly established itself as a pioneering, quality producer. Akis's journey began in the 1970s when he studied oenology in France and later identified 13 lost Cypriot indigenous grape varieties, revolutionizing the island's viticulture. The winery manages over 13 hectares of organically tended vineyards, producing around 120,000 bottles annually. Zambartas is known for its commitment to showcasing Cyprus's terroir through its 'Single Vineyard' range, highlighting the unique characteristics of indigenous varieties such as Xynisteri, Maratheftiko and Promara. Marcos Zambartas, Akis's son, runs the winery with his wife Marleen, continuing the family's vision with passion and enthusiasm. A visit to Zambartas Wineries offers a comprehensive wine experience. Guests can take tours of the vineyards and production areas, learning about the winemaking process from grape to bottle. Wine tastings are a highlight, with options ranging from sampling premium wines selected by the winemaker to enjoying pairings with local canapés. The winery also hosts private events, including team-building activities, parties, and wine dinners, accommodating up to 25 people in their tasting room. Zambartas Wineries welcomes visitors throughout the year, offering a true taste of Cyprus.
