In Art Space, in Exo Gonia, an old winery dating back to 1861, representative works of art from the sphere of painting and sculpture are on display, offering visitors the opportunity to come close to contemporary Greek art and the course of artistic expression in Greece.

The old distillery

In the old rakidio, the distilling equipment is preserved intact along with the ovens of the old steading. Another unique feature of the museum is its tomato paste processing plant as it was in the pre-industrial era of a century and a half ago. It is the only equipment of its kind that has been preserved to our days.

The old winery

The kanaves of the old 1861 winery are the display space of the works of art. Their architecture itself is a work of art on its own merit. Visitors can view on display the basins reserved for the grape treading (patitiria), each for the crafting of a different kindof wine, the must wells (lena) and the old maggano (wine mangle)
