Reviews La Cité du Vin
“Comment on cultive le vin dans le monde ? Depuis quand boit-on du vin ? Et dans quoi ? Reconnaître les odeurs ? Quel vin fait la paire avec mon caractère ? Qu'en pense un neurologue ? Un œnologue ? Un journaliste ? Toutes ces questions et 1000 autres encore sont posées de façon passionnante !”
“Super mais il faudrait des tickets valables pour 2 jours tant l'expo permanente était intéressante et tant il y a à voir”
“Great place as intro to wine. Somewhat creative but confusing layout. Wish lunchroom stayed open longer. Definitely worth a visit while in Bordeaux, particularly on a bad weather day.”
