Samos Wine Festival

37° 45.4′ N · 26° 58.6′ E · approximate

Samos' famous sweet Muscat is celebrated with a summer wine festival of tastings, music and dancing - a fine reason to time a stop at Vathy or Pythagorio.

Practical

Greeka says the Wine Festival is usually held in August in Pythagorio; the Samos municipality's 2019 'We Make The City' listing put it in Samos town (Vathy) on August 31, 8:30 pm to midnight, free entrance, with a separate wine presentation on August 17. Venue and date move between years - check the municipality's listings or ask at the Samos Wine Museum before planning around it. Position is the Samos town coordinate given by the 2019 listing (approx, venue not stated).
