Samos Wine Museum
Samos is famous for its internationally awarded wines, particularly its delectable vin doux liqueur and other sweet wines such as Nectar, Anthemis, and, more recently, its dry whites such as Phyllas made with organic muscat grapes. All wines produced on Samos are by law made by the Union of Vinicultural Cooperatives, who created this museum on a winery's grounds in tribute to the island's wine-making history, and it is the best place to dive into the island's wine culture. Start by perusing the photo exhibition of local wine making over the last century and proceed to see the tools used in production, as well as early-20th-century casks, and finally the French oak barrels used today. Lastly, head to the main hall to indulge in a wine tasting of the union's wines, which are also sold at the museum shop.
