Wine tasting and presentation - This was included in the Bordeaux CityPass & I just turned up - no prior booking was required. The museum is effectively a couple of old cellars which are very well presented and takes you on a tour of wine production in Bordeaux through the ages. The wine tasting at the end involved a very good presentation on the wine region of Bordeaux and the tasting of two different wines. The shop includes many options of local wines along with other wine-based products. Definitely recommend! Very friendly wine expert giving the talk and leading the wine tasting.

A museum as we love them - A jewel I love the ancient coast preserved far from any junk effect The place itself is already a museum; the layout is respectful of the past. For me the prettiest museum in Bordeaux at present DO NOT CHANGE!

A small but intimate museum experience--highly recommened - Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, which was much appreciated. The museum offered a different perspective than the larger wine museum, La Cité du Vin further down the river. The 2 museums compliment each other very well, so perhaps both are worth visiting.

Interesting historic wine cellar experience, but tasting is simple - I visited the Musée du Vin et du Négoce de Bordeaux and did the self-guided tour. The experience begins with downloading an audio/guide via a QR code, which walks you through each part of the museum at your own pace. It’s easy to follow and allows you to move through the space comfortably. The highlight for me was the cave itself — the underground cellar is very impressive, with a strong sense of history. The artifacts and explanations about Bordeaux’s wine trade and négociant system were interesting and gave good context to the region’s wine culture. The wine tasting at the end was okay. It’s important to note that it’s not a flight of wines — instead, you receive one glass of wine representing a region they’ve chosen to highlight. If you’re expecting multiple tastings, this may feel a bit limited. Overall, it’s a worthwhile stop if you’re interested in the history of Bordeaux wine and want to see a traditional cellar setting.
