How it Started
``For us Winemaking is a process without tomorrow. When we are satisfied with ourselves, that we have done the best we could, at least the product will express our efforts`` -Costas Constantinou
Constantinou Winery was founded in 1992 by Costas Constantinou, an ambitious young businessman born in Pera Pedi village, located on the outskirts of Limassol District in Cyprus. The winery initially started out with the production of liqueurs, with the first product being the Orange Liqueur “Orali” that is made from ripe oranges and has the ability to give fresh aromas and tastes. Constantinou later on produced the Coffee Liqueur which was a huge success amongst tourist and locals and is still being sold today.
The business was later known as “Orali” after the first liqueur produced and has gained a lot of popularity.

Constantinou Winery, ESTD 1992
Great place for tasting! We tasted dry white wine, red shiraz and constantinou medium dry and enjoyed every sip. Definitely worth a visit
An unforgettable experience! A truly beautiful winery with the most amazing wines and a special thank you to Panayiotis and his parents for a warm welcoming. Would highly recommend!!
A warm welcome from both owner and hound! We only tried dry white and rose as per our taste and as it was our first winery stop on a mini tour of local wineries; both were delicious. Also bought a sparkling Xynisteri to try later. Packaging is gorgeous in itself. Definitely worth a visit, it is on our ‘return to’ list
