About About the place

La Cité du Vin is a modern museum in Bordeaux dedicated to the global culture of wine. It offers a comprehensive journey through the history, production, and regions of wine, utilizing innovative and interactive exhibits. The museum’s striking architecture is a destination in itself, and the experience concludes with a wine tasting on the top floor, providing stunning views of the city. Multilingual audio guides enhance the visitor experience, making it accessible to a wide audience. While highly regarded for its ambition and presentation, some visitors find the focus lacking on Bordeaux wines and the experience potentially overwhelming.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

We stayed in for one night here and the hotel was too expensive and not at all worth it. The place was a little crappy in shape and a lot of maintenance was going on and all the rooms were not even furnished properly. But we had no other option and had to stay therefore had to sacrifice and paid extra to stay a night.

I have visited many museums but this by far has been the best and the most beautiful museums i visited. The display is arranged in such a manner that it all looks like some big art. The pieces of the collection are just marvellous and the audio guide present there gives away all the information you need to make it more interesting.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience..

The best place to indulge in some great quality food and wine here. There are numerous restaurants who are servicing gourmet local cuisines which are delicious and can be savored with some amazing wine. Do try these and I am sure you will love it.

This is a beautiful modern building at a gorgeous setting overlooking this historic and amazing city. We had a wonderful time touring the rooms, the gardens and the special museum built here. A lot of interesting and distinctive art is also displayed here making this visit very interesting.

The visit to this unique place was nothing I experienced before. It was like an emotional visit which left me quite heavy in the heart and overwhelmed. The stories associated with this place are moving and a must visit for everyone.

We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.
