The welcome was pleasant and professional. The interactive tour was easy and engaging. The content was exceptional and accessible to everyone. We learned a lot! Great idea with the tasting glass 👌. We enjoyed the restaurant and, thanks to the wristband, continued our visit in the afternoon. Nearly 5 hours without getting bored. Quite a feat for a museum and a unique theme! Thanks to the creators and the teams.

La Cité du Vin is essential if you want to say you have truly visited Bordeaux. We spent a few fun and ultimately educational hours there. You learn while enjoying yourself, which is definitely a plus. The route is straightforward, and the audio guide is exceptionally clear. In the end, stopping by the Belvedere for the must-have glass of wine rounded off the visit in the best possible way.

Easy access to the Cité du Vin. The listening system using a tablet connected to headphones is very interesting and lets you go at your own pace. It's an exhaustive wine program that takes you on a journey around the world. A very pleasant morning topped off with a glass of Saint-Émilion.

We thought we'd spend a half day at the museum and we were so intrigued with the exhibits we spent the day there, including a panoramic lunch. We enjoyed every part of it: the sniffing displays, the historical overview, vintner lectures on the differences around the globe, the science of growing grapes, grape stomping competition, and the lighted table multi-media experience.
