The Folklore Museum of Ambelos is located on the left hand side of the road leading to the village, and it also operates as a small Wine Museum, as it has several exhibits related to the production of Samos wine.

It officially started operating in 2015 and it was a warehouse before being turned into a museum. It occasionally hosts cultural events. Visitors can examine traditional Samos household items, church artefacts, traditional clothes from the 18th and 19th centuries, etc. As regards wine making, the museum has tools and artefacts from all wine production stages, such as old demijohns, weighing tools, such as scales and kantaria, koftiria used for cutting grapes before they were placed in the press that produced the must, as well as barrels, mixers, wine thermometers, and much more.

The Samos Wine Museum is housed in an emblematic 19th century stone building which used to operate as a wine warehouse, before the establishment of the United Wine Agricultural Cooperative, and later as a cooperage. It is located at the intersection leading to the Malagari port.

The building was turned into the Museum in 2005 and has since housed important exhibits that define Samos wine: vineyards with endemic vines that grow in ventilated showcases, lenos (stone grape stomping vats) and ypolenia (collection tanks), vine-growing, wine making, and ageing tools and vessels, as well as enormous wooden tanks from the previous century.

The Samos Wine Museum has received a special mark by the General Secretariat of Tourism Policy and Development and is open daily (from May to October), while it can also be visited after booking during the rest of the year.
