Samos Wine Museum — Attraction in Municipality of Eastern Samos

Samos Wine Museum is definitely inescapable, since the Muscat wine from Samos is one of the products that people from Samos are the most proud of.

Wine was for the Ancient Greek the drink of the Gods, still today the Greek wine is for the Greeks the most popular drink. The Island of Samos has a remarkable wine heritage, stretching back perhaps as far as 1200 BC.

The Muscat wine Samos, with a guaranteed appellation of origin, is produced from the grapes bearing the same name, cultivated on the slopes of Mount Ambelos, on the traditional island tiered terraces up to an altitude of 900m.

Also, the wines produced here have won multiple international awards so you know you will be in for a treat.

A really nice museum with a lot of information. They also have YouTube videos as a way to get a “guided tour”, but I felt like I got just as much from reading the plaques with information. The tasting of the wines at the end were easy/low maintance - but it don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing (I see some negative reviews for this). I got enough information about the wines, got a good taste, and know what wines I would like to order and buy outside of the museum.

Staff super friendly! I also dropped by a few days later as they have some Samos honey I haven’t been able to find other places.

Highly recommend a visit - it takes 30-60 minutes for the...
