A wonderful hidden gem in Paphos, just over the road from the Alexander the Great hotel. Had a couple of very nice evenings. Great food, wine, and service. Walter is a wonderful host and is very knowledgeable about the great Cypriot wines on offer. As a bit of a 'wino' I was sceptical, but the wines were superb and an equal of many other more well known wine countries. Will definitely be going back again when we return to Paphos next year. Highly recommended, and definitely worth paying a visit!!

Had a great evening at The Cellar talking with Valter about Italy and drinking amazing Cypriot wine. Ordered the cheese plate, it was a big portion of great cheese, fruitd and nuts. Highly recommend it.

What a fantastic wine bar. A great selection of indigenous Cypriot grape varieties and exceptional knowledge of the wines, vineyards and the history of winemaking in Cyprus. The €25 tasting with the food platter is excellent value. We visited on 3 of our 4 nights in Paphos!

The best place I have visited in Paphos during the last week I stayed in the city. Great wine selection with tasty local snacks, chocolate specialties, fair prices, atmospheric seatings, nice design, but above all: excellent service! Our waiter had a deep knowledge and natural enthusiasm and passion about the wines from Cyprus (even if he is Italian himself). I have been in many wine bars in my past as a wine geek, but this visit will remain in my top memories. People, don’t miss this place to visit if you not just want to have the commercial blabla about Cyprus wines! Go for the tasting! Thank you! Grazile Mille! Whenever we come back you can be sure we will visit you again!

Tasting these wines was such a joy! Each one had its own personality, from fruity and fresh to smooth and rich. The flavors blended beautifully and kept me wanting another sip. It felt relaxed yet special, making the whole experience fun, memorable, and definitely worth repeating. The platter of food (meats, humus, halumi cheese, pita bread) was also very satisfying and reach with flavours
