Samos Wine Museum

The Samos Wine Museum is housed in a magnificent 19th-century stone building, which originally operated as a private winery and later as a warehouse and barrel-making facility. It displays artifacts of the defining history of Samos wine: old photographs and production records, vineyards and depiction of mountain terraces, manual labor, harvesting and manual presses, aging and vinification, cellars, collectible bottles, barrel-making tools, old winemaking machinery as well as a series of awards and distinctions. Its layout, a result of modern museum science, travels the visitor to the traditional vineyard cultivation of Samos. The exhibits tell the tale of the entire historical, social and cultural course of the Samian wine. Traditional winemaking, tools, tanks, laboratory instruments, barrel-making tools, come alive through exhibits that go back over more than a century. The Samos Cooperative complies fully with all the Health and Safety Standards.
