If you have a love for wine, you’ll adore La Cité du Vin. This gorgeous museum is located in the heart of France’s Bordeaux region, perfect for a day’s stop during a longer exploration of the area’s wine country.
The innovative museum offers a self-guided permanent tour made up of 20 exhibits covering everything from history and geography to geology and the arts. Visitors are given a digital tour guide, available in eight languages, to explore the space at leisure, ending at the top of the building, where guests are treated to views of the city and a glass of wine.
In addition to the permanent exhibitions, there are also two temporary exhibits that change yearly. Currently, you can find a gallery of photographs by Isabelle Rozenbaum, who captured the entire history of La Cité du Vin. The second temporary exhibit will open in 2017.
You may also be able to catch one of the museum’s many workshops or seminars. Upcoming events include tastings from certain regions around the world, panel discussions on the museum itself and screenings of soccer matches paired with carefully selected wines.
After your experience discovering the world of wine, be sure to visit Le 7, a seasonal on-site restaurant serving more than 500 wines, or Latitude20, the on-site wine bar serving 50 wines and tapas. Before departing, check out the surrounding gardens.
Single tickets are €20 and include access to the permanent tour and a tasting of one wine. Currently, entrance to the temporary photography exhibit is also included in the single ticket price.
