winery & museum

For most, it is one of our island’s oldest treasures — the acclaimed wine of kings. For us, its caretakers, Commandaria is a place, a labour and an identity.

winemaking

tradition & innovation

We honour our roots by staying true to the region’s timeless winemaking methods: no irrigation, exposed sun-drying, spontaneous fermentation, even reintroducing pithari.

But heritage is not just about doing things the old way — we see tradition and innovation as two sides of the same coin, working together to honour the past while shaping the future.

A family winery is always evolving, and the region is rich with stories and traditions. We can’t share everything in person, so we make time to write down some of our thoughts and experiences.

The Winery

a family and its vines

Vines have always been at the core of our family’s work. For generations, we’ve cultivated vineyards across Agios Mamas, Laneia, and Doros, now covering about 10 hectares. It’s not a vast estate, but for a family winery, it’s a lot. Every vineyard is managed by hand, from pruning to harvest, a rhythm of work shaped by patience, skill, and respect for the land. Some vineyards have been in the family for generations, others we planted ourselves, and many were restored after decades of neglect – we know each one vine by vine.

Since 2015, we’ve brought that deep-rooted experience into a new chapter at Revecca Winery. Revecca’s old family home, restored in 2011, is now the heart of our work. With an annual production of around 10 tonnes of commandaria, we focus on small-scale, hands-on winemaking. From vineyard to bottle, every step is shaped by a desire to honour, refine, and share the identity of our region and its wine.

Commandaria

The Region

sun-kissed foothills

Commandaria is a land defined by its history, its people, and its vineyards. Running along the southern foothills of Troodos, the fourteen villages of this region are bound together by a winemaking tradition that stretches back for millennia.

The land here is rugged and beautiful, with steep slopes draped in pines and vineyards, terraces carved into the hillsides, and stone-built villages that seem to rise organically from the earth. Mediterranean values flow through every part of the region — tradition and community, a simple life in connection with nature.

Throughout its history, Commandaria has been a melting pot of cultures. From the Byzantine and Venetian influences to the Ottoman and British, each civilization has left its mark, intertwining with the region’s own identity. These influences are not only reflected in the architecture and culture of the villages but also in the way the land is cultivated and the wine is made. Commandaria has always been a crossroads, where different traditions converge, evolve, and contribute to something uniquely its own.
