The museum is located in a very nice neighborhood of Bordeaux. We visited it with the audio guide and it was interesting. Very nice was the tasting guided with professionalism and kindness by Mathilde. Long live!

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.)
