For the wine aficionado, the “Musée du Vin” is a must. Located
at what used to be the vaulted 15th-century cellars of a former abbey, this
small but charming museum offers a vast array of attractions that educates
visitors about wine and its history. The museum’s environment provides
a charming medieval ambiance that complements wine history. We were amused
by the wide variety of collections that range from an explanation on
“Tilling the Soil and Planting the Vines” to expositions on the
different kind of wine glasses and cups created and used by French kings.
We also found useful the museum explanation on the process of wine making.
That was a very enlightening experience. But the best part of the museum
is the wine tasting included with the admission price. Visitors can choose
to taste one of three kinds of wine (white, rose, red). At least Sebastian
and Michael enjoyed this the most!
