Koutsoyannopoulos Wine Museum, Santorini, Greece
Located inside a natural cave eight metres below ground, it took the Koutsoyannopoulos family 21 years to fund and build The Koutsoyannopoulos Wine Museum – the only museum of its kind in Greece.
A labour of love by the family, visitors are taken on a tour of wine and the life of vine growers in Santorini since the 1600s with the help of an audio guide, available in 14 languages, while perusing the museum’s collection of wine-related artefacts.
“The rare exhibits, including winemaking machinery and tools, will take the visitors back in time to another era”, promise the Koutsoyannopoulos family.
At the end of the tour, visitors are invited to taste four wines produced by the Koutsoyannopoulos Winery in its tasting room.
Admission is €8 with the museum open Monday through Saturday.
