The museum is located in Erimi village at the crossroads of the wine routes of Cyprus. It is near to Kolossi Castle, a medieval Commanderie of the Knights Hospitaller that gave the name to the Commanderia Wine first produced by them.
Anastasia Guy, who created the museum in 2004, was “inspired by the fact that Cyprus is one of the first wine producing countries and, with the advantage of owning a traditional Cypriot building that has been in my family for generations”, instigated the creation of the Cyprus Wine Museum as a tribute to this integral part of the history of the island. There are artifacts, photographs, signboards and a ten-minute film with music composed by Ms. Guy. The wine products of 32 wineries are on display in the tasting room.
The Cyprus Wine Museum is situated in Erimi village on the old Limassol (Lemesos) - Paphos road. Immediately before the highway.
