Excellent museum about wine and the wine trade - 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.)

Highly recommended experience. - 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.

Interesting, informative, friendly & inexpensive with lots of history & great souvenirs - 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.

Wine and chocolate - We were able to enjoy a wine and chocolate workshop that was offered to us last Christmas. Lucas our guide, has made us discover information that we do not know, despite the fact that we are from Bordeaux. The tasting of wine accompanied by chocolates, was a discovery for our palate... Discover!!!! Merci Lucas

Excellent visit - The museum is small and located in an old trading house. The museum part is small but very well made and complete. The shop contains many interesting products at decent prices. The tasting is well done. I would have liked an extra paid tasting but we can't have everything. For a low price, an excellent visit with young and friendly staff.

A must do - 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.

Content of the museum interesting and complementary to the wine city - Very interesting trading and historical aspect, as well as the evolution of packaging over time; Tasting very well animated but wines of low interest

Small but informative museum - 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.

Ouch Ouch - Being strongly interested in wine I take advantage of my stay in Bordeaux to visit this rather famous museum. We start with the visit, it is well explained, quite interactive. We go around independently. It is very noisy and complicated to focus on audio because groups visit at the same time in a fairly small space. We finish the tour with the tasting we wait 15min for someone to take care of us because groups are already passing. The “tasting” if you can call it that happens in the middle of the shop between the product stalls where everyone passes and looks. A young girl takes care of us and sets us up, 0 organization. During the “tasting” all his colleagues pass and interrupt constantly. The girl starts, it looks more like a course on Bordeaux vineyards but either it makes revisions. She reads her paper from start to finish. When she pours us the first drink, she begins to explain that we must observe the bubbles in the wine????? Because according to her, they are the “tears or legs of wine”. I explain to him that no it is not that; that the tears are on the wall of the glass when you “turn the glass”. Enough shame to tell such monstrosities especially for a wine museum in Bordeaux... She explains that she is “just an intern” but where is her training? Realizing that I don’t know much more (I end up telling her that I’m a wine merchant) she asks me bcp questions “but why not put the red wine in the fridge?” I don’t know if I was more embarrassed for her or shocked and tired of listening to anything. I pass because so many crazy things happened in 30 minutes, big lack of professionalism. I don’t throw stones at this girl because when you don’t know it’s complicated.

Pass your way - Visit that does not bring much...comments and homeopathic tasting made by an incompetent person who was not in his place...
