interesting experience of Bordeaux vineyards and wine history
Many had recommended this museum as a must-see activity here in Bordeaux, so my friends and I popped in to see what it was all about. They welcomed us cordially, explaining the progress of the visit, letting us choose the type of guide, whether audio or paper and the amount of wines to taste, if two or three, in both cases there are many language options. We then started the visit in the first most historic quarry where the history of Bordeaux trade and port is told, and then continued to the second more technical quarry, where the process of wine production and sale is explained. These quarries were initially cellars, in fact the whole place was transformed into a museum so that it was useful to preserve the history not only of the neighborhood but of the city and all the wine production of the region. At the end of the visit we did the tasting, which I found very interesting as it helped us to better understand what we tasted next, in fact it gave us the opportunity to deepen our knowledge about Bordeaux vineyards. At the end we took a tour of the boutique where all the products and objects related to wines and oenology are available. This was my experience, I must say it fully met my expectations both with regard to the availability of people, both for the structure of the museum. If you happen to be in Bordeaux you cannot miss this museum, as it is an important symbol of Bordeaux history and culture, especially if you are passionate about wines!
