 The Ouzo
Barbayannis family has been
passionately pursuing perfection
in the taste of ouzo and
preserving the traditional
distillation techniques for five
generations. As a result, the
Barbayannis name is identified
throughout the world for its
prime ouzo, the finest Greek
liquor beverage.
Today, in the picturesque
settlement of Plomari, Lesvos,
technology harmoniously co-exists
with history and tradition. The
Ouzo Museum was founded to
express the love and passion the
Barbayannis family has for the
production of ouzo.

museum of Ouzo Barbayanni.
The Ouzo Museum
is located next to the modern,
privately-owned distilleries of
the Barbayannis ouzo production
facilities.
In the museum visitors can see
the original equipment used to
bottle and label the famous Ouzo
Barbayanni Blue, as well as the
first alembic, constructed in
1858 in Constantinople, used for
testing century-old secrets and
techniques, and to compose the
recipes of the Barbayannis
family. The Ouzo Museum
respectfully embraces tradition
and is the home of the secret of
the quality and taste found in
Ouzo Barbayanni.
