Guide Bordeaux Marina
★★★★★4 months agoThis is one of my favorite places in Bordeaux. As a local guide, I always recommend visiting this museum along with the modern Wine Museum, but this one truly has its own soul and spirit. You’ll discover fascinating objects and historical documents that tell the story of Bordeaux’s wine culture. And the experience is even better because your ticket includes two wine tastings at the end — a perfect way to connect what you’ve learned with the flavors of the region. I love sharing this museum with visitors and helping them uncover the hidden stories behind Bordeaux’s wines, so if you’re curious about wine history and local culture, it’s definitely a must-see!

★★★★★11 months agoWhat a little gem. So much to like about it. It is small and self guided but done extremely well with an option to listen to audio on your phone or have a printed version. All of the artifacts are explained and they give you excellent timelines and history. And you are actually in the seller of someone who used to be a wine trader.You also get a little wine tasting with it, which is a nice little Plus. Highly recommend.
