    This is a cute little museum that shows you the process of how wine is produced, all the different French regions, types of grapes, and the harvesting process. If you’re expecting to go to a vineyard and have a guide showing you the fields; this is not the place to go. Like the name suggests it’s a little museum in the city, but it’s very interactive and interesting, they have quizzes and screens where you can learn/play a bit and you go at your own pace - available in different languages as well. I did the wine tasting for 8 different types of wine and they give you a cute wine glass to take home as well. For 25€ I think it’s worth the experience.
