Incredible! I thought it’s going to be just another exhibition but the quality of work, and interactive experience was simply magnificent. Best part it’s about world wines, educational and a brilliant perspective of the magic and art of making wine. We spend more than three hours. Worth it. Perfect way to spend a rainy day in Bordeaux.

Fun for everyone of all ages. And the ticket provides for two samples on the 8th floor wi...
