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.

Lovely Experience - It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Although the wine cellar is quite small, it provides a thorough overview of the history of the wine. At the end, there was an informative presentation of the wine map of Bordeaux. I tasted two types of wine. I enjoyed it a lot.

Title of opinion: A rewarding and friendly visit - I visited the Bordeaux Wine and Trade Museum with friends, and it was a really pleasant experience! The place is steeped in history and highlights the importance of wine in Bordeaux’s culture and economy. The presentations were very well made, with clear explanations and interesting anecdotes. The staff was welcoming and passionate, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Even without being a wine lover, I enjoyed discovering the production methods, the trades and all the heritage around this fascinating universe. An activity that I recommend to all those who want to know more about the history of Bordeaux!

Small museum but nice wine tasting - 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 Bordeaux Wine and... - The Bordeaux Wine and Trade Museum is set in an old cellar, which unfortunately had a strong musty and mouldy smell that made it difficult for me to fully enjoy the visit. That said, the wine tasting was absolutely divine. The staff provided excellent knowledge about the wines, which added great value to the experience and made it worthwhile despite the setting. If you’re in Bordeaux, I would also highly recommend visiting the Cité du Vin museum for a more polished and immersive wine experience.

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.

Save your money and take tour by looking at pictures online. - 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.
