Samos Wine Museum
Μουσείο Οίνου Σάμου
A museum set in the converted 19th-century wine cellars of the Samos Wine Cooperative. It traces the history of Muscat wine-making, and you can taste the wine for free after your visit.
Samos is famous for its sweet white wine made from Muscat grapes, which was exported across the Mediterranean in ancient times. The Wine Museum is in Malagari by the bay of Vathy, in the 19th-century stone cellars of the Samos Wine Cooperative. It displays giant oak barrels, presses and winemaking tools, and explains terrace cultivation and the winemaking process. After your visit, you can taste several local wines and buy some. It is about a 20-minute walk from central Vathy.
