#springwander Bordeaux, France, was an absolute treat in spring! The city’s elegant architecture and vibrant atmosphere made it a joy to explore. I visited the Cité du Vin (€22 entry), an interactive wine museum with a tasting session at the top—totally worth it! The Place de la Bourse and its stunning Water Mirror were picture-perfect, and a stroll along the Garonne River was so relaxing. With amazing wine bars, charming squares, and beautiful gardens, Bordeaux was the perfect mix of culture and leisure! 🍷 #Bordeaux #France #WineLovers #SpringTrip #CityVibes #TravelDiaries

When you think of wine, you think of Bordeaux, and the city is world-famous for its wine production. If you're a wine lover, I think it's a must-visit destination!! Bordeaux has a wine museum called Cité du Vin, which is a typical Bordeaux museum. You can learn about wine in a wide range of ways, from the basic history of wine to the production method and characteristics of French wine. (The free audio guide is also available in Japanese, so we recommend using it.) After visiting each exhibition room, you can sample some wines in the tasting area. (Tasting is a paid option.) The wine shop inside the museum is also a space lined with wines, so it's worth visiting. Be sure to stop by. Spot name: Cité du Vin Location: 134 Quai de Bacalan, 33300 Bordeaux Opening hours: ▶︎2025/1/5 - 2025/4/4 10am to 6pm *Open until 7pm on Saturdays in March ▶︎2025/4/5-2025/11/1 10am to 7pm ▶︎2025/11/2-2026/1/4 Weekdays and Sundays: 10am to 6pm Saturdays and long holidays: 10am to 7pm 💰Admission fee: *Varies depending on ticket plan, so check the official website! #wine #Europetrip #France #0yentripFebruary2025

#summerdestinations We had a fantastic family trip to Bordeaux, France! The city is filled with charm and history. We started our day at Place de la Bourse, which was breathtaking with its reflective water mirror. The entrance to the mirror was free, making it a perfect spot for photos. We then strolled through the beautiful Jardin Public and visited the Cité du Vin, which had an entrance fee of around €20 but was well worth it for the interactive wine exhibits. Bordeaux’s vibrant food scene and nearby St. André Cathedral were highlights too. A memorable trip for all! 🌟🍷🏰 #trip #Bordeaux #FamilyTravel #PlaceDeLaBourse #JardinPublic #CitéDuVin

A must-visit place in Bordeaux! A wine experience museum with a unique exterior that resembles wine. The interior facilities are also very well-made, so it was a great place to understand wine. Admission fee 22 euros Bordeaux itself is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, so the entire city was so beautiful. I traveled by rental car, so I was able to visit wineries in the Bordeaux region and drink delicious wines to my heart's content. It only takes about 2-3 hours by train from Paris, so if you like wine, be sure to stop by~! #JulyTravelSupportEvent #FranceTravel #Bordeaux #Wine #ParisTravel #Winery #France #Let'sTravel

Bordeaux is the most famous city in France for its wine. La cité du vin in downtown Bordeaux is a wine museum where you can taste 3 wines and take a class about wine for 18 euros for 1 hour. It was really interesting to taste the wine, smell it, and guess what ingredients were in it. I recommend it if you are interested in wine! 📍 La Cité du Vin 134 Quai de Bacalan, 33300 Bordeaux, France #European travel

The Bordeaux Wine Museum (La Cité du Vin) opened in 2016. The Bordeaux Wine Museum (La Cité du Vin) is a must-visit for wine lovers. There are many interactive VRs and exhibitions, not just French wines, but also showcasing winemaking civilizations and traditions in more than 80 countries around the world. Before entering the exhibition hall, everyone is equipped with headphones and an interpreter, with the choice of explanation in 9 languages. In fact, not a drinker, even children have fun, especially the smell part. The Bordeaux Wine Museum is uniquely shaped, and from a distance looks like a drop of water falling to the ground, or like a fine wine spinning in a wine glass. At the end of the game, you can go up to the upper floors to drink and enjoy the city scenery. It can be reached by Light Rail, which is very convenient. There is a Bordeaux City Pass for free admission, but remember it is before twelve. If you like wine, you should plan half a day to play!

Had a birthday well spent at Bordeaux last weekend. the highlight of the visit was definitely the Cite du Vin, a modern wine museum. The place had vast displays about wine, from its history, used, aromas, varieties and more around the world. The whole museum was so interactive and full of videos, audios, and immersive experiences The place is so big and good for 4 hours! I’m no wine expert but definitely worth a visit.
