Tsiakkas Winery

Tsiakkas Winery was founded in 1988 and is located in Pano Pelendri, in the Pitsilia region of Limassol district. The company’s vineyards are located in the same area. The cold winters and cool, dry summers, combined with volcanic soils, result in low yields per hectare, which is essential for producing high-quality grapes.

The wines are made from both international and local grape varieties. Starting with the high-altitude (1500 meters) Petralona vineyard, the microclimate of the Keramis vineyard, and the St. John vineyard with its unique characteristics, the winery combines the best features of the varieties and produces Commandaria and Zivania wines.
