Bordeaux Wine History: Exclusive Museum & Tasting Tour

Was fantastic so informative and such good value for money. I really enjoyed every moment listening to the audio as I went around followed by wine tasting which I thought was absolutely amazing. They included in the price. Mathilde knew her wines and was fabulous

A very enjoyable visit to this small but informative and well presented museum, finished off by an equally informative and pleasant wine tasting.

An interesting traditional contrast to the very modern Cite du Vin. My wife was mesmerized by the film on barrel making and we both enjoyed the included wine tasting.

Excellent museum about wine and the wine trade. This is a small museum located in an old wine cave. The museum provides a booklet in English that is very helpful in understanding the exhibits and many of the longer signs were also in English. The exhibits cover such topics as the history and growth of the wine trade in Bordeaux (folks from many different countries were involved over the centuries), making corks, the different classifications of Bordeaux wines, and the machinery used in producing wines. It was very interesting! The tour ends with a tasting of two wines, neither of which were particularly impressive. (One of the wines was a claret that had not been aged – as they used to make it before the aging process was developed – and it had little taste or color.)

this was quite a ice find. very relaxed, good value, plenty of history of the Bordeaux region wine history with audio via phone or typed guide available also. the museum is not huge but takes about 30 mins to browse. the wine tasting was very good with lots to absorb o the various wines of the region. a nice gift shop with lots of reasonably priced good wines to bring home. highly recommended.

Super friendly staff, very knowledgeable, lost of interesting history to see, well decorated. The museum was small but a decent amount packed in. The tasting was cozy and fun and the guide was knowledgeable. Tickets were not too much so i would recommend a visit.

They did a great job explaining the history of the wine region beginnings in Bordeaux. The museum ticket included a wine tasting and overview of the different regions. That produce wine in Bordeaux. It was interesting to find out that there are restrictions to what kind of grapes go into the Bordeaux wines.

10/10 What an amazing experience and such good value for money. The staff were so helpful and happy to answer all the questions. English was amazing. For €10 you get wine tasting with a lesson about the vinyards and include chocolate rasins, cake, and two glasses of wine. You also get a guided tour around the museum. Learnt so much and definitely a must if only visiting for a short period of time.

The museum itself was quite small, but you can get a booklet of info and/or an audio guide. They spoke English and the wine tasting part was nice. A nice female employee gave a small presentation about the different regions of Bordeaux and what wine is produced where, then we were able to sample two wines. The student price was 5 euros, which was fine with me.

The wine cave was authentic and interesting, but I wouldn't waste my time looking at very old wine bottles and other things that are so full of dust you cannot appreciate them. There was a wine tasting at the end, but it was the worse presentation and wine that I tasted in France. Save your money and skip this one! I didn't have a reservation and walked right through.
