We would'nt normally go to a site such as this but it was included in our city pass so we thought, what the heck. It was a very pleasant surprise, very well organised, well presented and informative. Building itself is very impressive and easy to get to via the tram. Recommended.

Exhibit was an amazing 5/5 experience with excellent visuals and audio covering all aspects of the wine industry (history, geography, sensory, etc). 3 hours and we maybe listened to half the audios. The wine tasting on the 8th floor has great views but it was perhaps two of the worst wines my wife and i have ever tasted (0/5). What a disappointment! Lost opportunity for the various wine regions feature at the tasting.

A must see/do if you come to Bordeaux, but probably best to do out of season to avoid queues and to be able to really appreciate all of the hands on experiences available. You could easily spend 3-4 hours going through all of the exhibits, although not always in a logical sequence depending on visitor numbers and once you have finished the cafe is good value without rip off pricing. A glass of wine on the 8th floor finishes off a really good value and informative exhibition.

Wow - what a complex and that central cellar display. Easy access and good parking facilities directly opposite. Looks as if the ‘old’ river area is undergoing an update and overhaul. All looks so new and fresh with good roads and new buildings. La Cite de Vins is quite frankly mind blowing - loads of ‘theatre’ displays, videos, and so many interactive displays covering wine growing, making and development over the centuries. Obviously a big draw card for families and others especially on a very wet Saturday! The Cafe on the ground floor was somewhat underwhelming - few staff, and service slow so we opted out of a coffee and something to eat. The ticket price includes a complimentary glass of wine on the 8th where there is a 360 degree view of Bordeaux and environs and the Garonne River which features so importantly in the Bordeaux wine history. Absolute value for money and something well worth visiting.

Beautiful and informative! The interactive exhibits are fun and well done! The only issue is figuring out the technology - smartphone provided to scan sections and listen to information BUT if there are a lot of guests it can be difficult to get the individual displays from the beginning. Better to go when it’s not too crowded and if you want to do the entire exhibit give yourself lots of time!

A great visitor experience. Even the most knowledgeable wine buff will learn something new. Architecturally wonderful – the building is said to represent the swirl of wine in a glass beside the flowing river. Good views over Bordeaux. We visited in December and it was busy. It must be really crowded in the tourist season when advance booking must surely be recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning there and will return.

This venue is unlike any wine-themed that I have experienced. The architecture and design itself is worth the visit. The self guided tour is informative and brilliantly displayed. Naturally you can stop for a wine tasting experience and the wine shop has an array of excellent wines from around the world. If you are in Bordeaux, it would be criminal NOT to stop here :)

This is a treasure! Lots of variety in the exhibits to suit different interests. We really enjoyed the ‘fly-over’ of wine regions across the world as well as the videos from wine makers in different regions explaining the unique factors (geography, climate, wine techniques) contributing to their wines. The complimentary tasting on the top floor gave a wide variety of choices - some quite unique - which was much appreciated. We could easily have spent more time, and would come back again another time if opportunity presents.

Had a great time in the museum today. We went on a Monday during off season and it was not crowded at all. I can’t imagine what it would be like during the peak of summer… I don’t know if even try as I think it would be highly frustrating. Today however, was great. Staff friendly and informative, time to go to all of the exhibitions without crowds - and I learned a lot. Really enjoyed our time!!

Really enjoyed our time at this modern, interactive museum of wine. Each of the themed areas was informative and entertaining covering a wide range of wine topics. There is a lot to cover if you visit each of the areas so suggest you get there early. Very good value for money.
