EST 1991
LaGRIA Winery
Our winery is located in the beautiful village of Salamiou. It was established on the 6th of August 1991, although the winemaking history of the area is more than a century old
Our Wines
In our Winery, you will find seven types of local, premium wine. The collection consists of 6 dry wines and 1 sweet wine. The dry wines include 4 types of red wine, one white and one rose.
‘’Φοινίκη’’, our dessert wine is the only one in the collection with its own name.
The ”philosophy” behind our labels is that music and wine in Cyprus go hand in hand. The instruments we chose to present on our labels are the Laouto and the Violin. The idea was proposed during a family meeting which involved food, music, and of course, lots of wine.
Region/Salamiou
Salamiou is 35km northeast of Paphos at a height of 700m. The area surrounding the winery and the village’s vineyards is an untapped environmental treasure within the Natura 2000 selected region.
Microclimate
Salamiou and the surrounding areas are known for their microclimate, which makes it ideal for growing grapes. Due to the cold winds from higher altitudes, such as Troodos, they benefit from colder nights and little humidity. This allows the vineyards to have healthier grapes, usually without pesticides. Also, grow grapes with more concentrated sugars and therefore, more flavor.
Vision
Lagria Winery was started as a small family business by three founding cousins. Its current premises are 900m2 with plans of expanding in the future. Their vision was and still is to ‘’produce wines of the highest quality possible by keeping them pure from chemicals and to become the brand of choice for wine lovers in Cyprus and abroad.’’
Name
The name was inspired by a part of the mountain close to the Winery called ‘’LAGRIA’’ as an ode to the village where the cousins grew up. While the name is written in English at the moment, until 2015 it was written in Greek, “ΛΑΚΡΙΑ”.

The Cellar
The winery is built on the side of a small cliff. Because some of it was left exposed in the cellar, it naturally created the ideal temperature for our wines throughout the year. Our Cellar can fit approximately 100 000 bottles of wine or more.
The tasting room
Our, recently renovated, tasting room is the last place you will see when visiting our premises. The wood-paneled walls combined with the warm colors create a cozy environment, ideal for a drink. The room is an event hall hosting wine tastings, food preparation performances, weddings, gatherings, and more.
