The Cyprus Wine Museum is situated in the village of Erimi in the Limassol district with a history of over 5.500 years  in wine production. The building is constructed on the most important historical and commercial crossroad on the island: the old Limassol – Paphos road, the road that leads to the Kolossi Castle, the Ancient Kourion and the Wine villages of Limassol.

It was founded by the composer Anastasia Guy and its operation began in 2004. The former president Tasso Papadopoulo performed the inauguration. It is possibly the only wine museum in the world, which presents 55 centuries of wine production and the wine roads of a country.
