Wine Tasting - Wine Museum
Last to a local Winery and Wine Museum.
A special site that houses a large and extraordinary artifact collection of historical value and aesthetics.
The exhibits are mainly from the original winery and the Hartouliaris family pre-war home. Some items have been donated by family and friends, in recognition of the Wine Museum as the appropriate site to showcase these items in the manner they deserve. Other items have been found abandoned, throughout Kefalonia,
The Museum’s smaller exhibits include a collection of old household utensils, decor items, and photographs. Special mention is due to several old suitcases and steamer trunks which have made several transatlantic crossings in the first part of the 20th century.
Most Wine Museum exhibits are 200-300 years old.
Tours of the Winery and Museum, available for groups and independent visitors, include a guided walk through the wine producing facilities and wine tasting in the wine exhibit section of the Museum. During August and September, peaks of the grape harvest and wine-producing season, visitors are treated to a live, on-site view of the process. In non-producing months, visitors are given a detailed description of the wine-making process as they are guided through the production facilities.
Wine tasting takes place inside the Museum, where the wine exhibit and a point of sales for all winery products are housed.
