Cité du Vin is a fascinating wine museum where you could easily spend hours learning about the many…read moredifferent aspects of wine. . It's a must do when visiting Bordeaux, France.
We purchased the 360° wine tasting along with tickets to the exhibits, which also included a glass of wine at the end. The museum has many interactive exhibits that make learning about wine fun and engaging. One of the highlights is the rooftop, where you can enjoy your included glass of wine while taking in a beautiful view of the river.
For those who enjoy higher-end wines, I would probably skip the 360° wine tasting. They provide four wines--a sparkling, white, light red, and dark red--and discuss their characteristics and the regions where the grapes were grown. While interesting, we felt the wines were fairly basic.
Instead, I would spend more time exploring the exhibits and then purchase a separate tasting at the wine restaurant on the first floor, where you can choose wines that better match your own preferences.
