Tantalise your tastebuds with the story behind Samos' honey-sweet muscat wine and amber spirit, Metaxa. First up, you'll head to the Museum of Samos Wine in Vathi. There's a guided tour on the cultural and practical history of the island's wine, with displays of traditional wine-making tools, tanks and barrels. Here, you'll taste the muscat wine that makes the base of Metaxa. Next, we'll drive to the slopes of Mount Ambelos – the home of Metaxa in Samos. You'll be guided through the cellar and vineyard, hearing about how Greece's one-of-a-kind amber spirit originated and smelling the Mediterranean herbs that give Metaxa its distinctive floral taste. Afterwards, head to the house bar with views over the Aegean Sea for a glass of Metaxa 5 Stars Greek Orange or a glass of Metaxa 7 Stars to round off the trip.

De toer werd geannuleerd, maar de hulp van de lokale TUI reisleider hebben we last minute de toer naar naar Metaxa wel op poten gezet. Dit is een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die van Metaxa houdt. Jonge fijne gids met professionele uitleg. Héél mooie locatie! Wij hebben een privé rondleiding op het domein gekregen en de mensen in de bar/shop waren heel enthousiast en gedienstig. Video's tussendoor over Metaxa: geschiedenis/product. Mogelijkheid om cocktails met hapjes te proeven. Héérlijk!!!
