About this experience
This ticket grants entry to Cité du Vin, Bordeaux's museum dedicated to wine civilisation, which opened in 2016 and spans multiple themed galleries covering wine history, production regions, and culture across six continents. The building's distinctive curved form, designed by the XTU architecture practice, has become a reference point along the Garonne riverfront. Ticket holders follow a self-guided audio tour through permanent exhibits on viticulture, tasting technique, and the role of wine in trade and society, with commentary available in several languages. The visit concludes on the panoramic top floor, where the host serves a tasting of wines from different regions as part of the museum experience. The ticket covers full museum access, the audio guide device, and the on-site tasting session, making this one of the more structured ways to spend a half-day among Bordeaux attractions. Alcohol is not sold through this listing. Any tasting is served on site by the operator to guests of legal drinking age.
