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.

Its layout, a result of modern museum science, travels the visitor to the traditional vineyard cultivation of Samos.

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.
