All topics are covered: general history of wine, specific history of wine in Bordeaux, fermentation and bottling processes, grape varieties, modern trends, relationship with religion, and more.

The experience is individualized through your audio headset which is available in many languages.
Capturing smells at a museum is difficult, but this museum has perfected their atomizers to help you identify notes in both red and white wine.
Bordeaux is not a very tall city (built on swamp land) so the view from the museum allows you to see all.
Getting to the museum is easy with the B street tram. A food hall is right next door with a variety of cuisines, and restaurants are available inside Cite du Vin. One of the braille city maps is outside the entrance.
