Cité Du Vin

La Cité du Vin is one of the must-see sites for wine lovers. Its architecture is impressive and the journey inside awakens all the senses. To be discovered, of course, but in moderation!

La Cité du Vin is an international wine museum, but the mode of discovery is far from the classic codes. No permanent collection, but a self-guided tour punctuated by 19 thematic areas, telling the story of wine cultures through an immersive and sensory staging, the last stage of which will take you to the Belvedere for a tasting of wines from around the world.
The permanent route, the heart of La Cité du Vin, invites you on a journey through time and space to discover wine in its cultural, civilizational, heritage and universal dimensions. With your senses alert, discover wine, its imagination, its influence on civilizations and regions of the globe for millennia, particularly through history, geography, geology, oenology and the arts. . Between myths, sacredness, religion and magic, experience the culture of wine as a formidable epic, which has shaped men and their lives for centuries, which has inspired them and still inspires them today. Throughout your visit, you will be guided by the visit companion, an innovative and technological tool available in 8 languages, allowing you to explore the route at your own pace by adapting to your profile.
The last stage of the journey will take you 35 meters up to the Belvedere of La Cité du Vin, where you will discover the Gironde city at 360°: Bordeaux, its city, its Port de la Lune, and further afield its vineyards and its territory as far as the eye can see. A unique panoramic view that you can enjoy while enjoying a glass of wine from one of the world's great vineyards.
In a space of more than 700 m², a large annual temporary exhibition on various cultural and artistic themes, inviting works of art from the greatest international museums and private collections, is organized at La Cité du Vin each spring. laciteduvin.com
