COUTSODONTIS WINERY — Attraction in Municipality of Western Samos

One of the best things to do on Samos! The wine is excellent, I - a hardcore fan of the Italian wine - was truly surprised by it.

It ended after 45 minutes while it was supposedly 60 minutes. We did get some cheese which was nice.

Definitely would not recommend, the least interesting wine tasting we have ever attended and the worst value...

The owner was friendly, explained a lot about their wine and the island. The only problem is that he could have poured more wine for tasting since the tasting glasses are already small. Some of their wines can be found in...
