2Samos – Island of Sweet Muscat

The island of Samos, in the eastern Aegean, is world-renowned for its luscious Muscat wines. Terraced vineyards climb steep mountain slopes, creating dramatic landscapes that are particularly beautiful in autumn when the harvest fills the air with sweetness.

The star here is Samos Vin Doux, a golden dessert wine with aromas of honey, apricot, and citrus. Visiting in fall means you’ll catch the grape harvest and the lively celebrations that accompany it. Pair Muscat wines with local desserts like galaktoboureko (custard pie) or enjoy them alongside salty cheeses for a perfect balance.
