The city was, as it were, asleep until Bordeaux was discovered as an ideal city for a city break. This is derived from the shape of the Garonne river. This river flows through Bordeaux in a curve that strongly resembles a half-moon. This underscores that Bordeaux, with its beautiful architecture, heritage, and unique location, is the pride of the region.
We set out to investigate whether these nicknames are justified. In this blog For centuries, Bordeaux has been synonymous with wine of unparalleled quality and refinement. They are beloved by wine enthusiasts worldwide. The unique terroirs — a combination of soil, climate, and craftsmanship — give Bordeaux wines their characteristic flavour profile. This is not an ordinary museum, but a true experience for your senses.
Here you discover everything about wine, from its history to the production process. The architecture of the building is already a work of art in itself. Gnarled vines, wine swirling in a glass, eddies in the Garonne. Just some associations you get when looking at the artistic building. The reflections in the Garonne create beautiful images. The interior design is also unique, what an extraordinary building!
No, the entire world production of wine is highlighted. The interactive exhibition on the history of wine and wine production is an experience in itself.
An excellent audio tour also available in English adds the extra dimension to the exhibition. The multimedia presentation in the museum is unparalleled. With this museum, Bordeaux certainly deserves the nickname world capital of wine. First tick earned! To experience the hidden beauty of the city, we set out with guide Fleur. We begin our tour in the Chartrons district. Originally, this area was home to religious orders, including the Carthusians.
