The Bordeaux Wine and Trade Museum pays tribute to the great wine merchants and rich winemaking history of Bordeaux. Set in the building of Louis XV's royal broker, you’ll discover three centuries of the history and fame of Bordeaux’s great wines.
The vaulted cellars, built in 1720, retrace the work of the coopers and the maturing of wine in barrels in the tradition of the wine merchants of the 19th century. With an included paper guide, you’ll get to go on a self-guided walk through two cellars.
At the end of your visit, you can attend a presentation of the Bordeaux vineyards and learn about the notions of grape varieties, appellation d'origine contrôlée, terroir, and more.
Alongside your commented wine tasting with in-house selected local wines, you can taste raisins dorés (coated raisins) and canelés de Bordeaux (small French pastry flavored with rum). Before the end of your visit, you can enjoy some more of the wines in the wine cellar (costs not included).
