It was founded in 1934 after actions taken by the vine growers of the island. The history of the Samos Cooperative through time proves that the alliance of the vine growers was a strategically important move for the preservation of viticulture and the protection of the producers’ income.
The UWC Samos receives the grapes, produces the wine and trades almost the entire production of the island. In search of constant modernization, it invests in technology, in harmonious combination with traditional viticulture and winemaking and in compliance with ISO and HACCP certifications.
The wines of Samos have obtained hundreds of distinctions in international competitions and fairs. It is also worth noting, that the first award was received in 1937, while every year additions were made on the long list of international honorary awards and distinctions.
