Wine lovers, break out that bucket list —La Cité du Vinis your next must-see spot.
La Cité du Vin, which translates to The City of Wine, opened in 2016 and is a vino lover’s dream come true.
Any question you’ve ever had about the drink will certainly be answered in one of the destination’s 20 different themed areas that feature various immersive exhibitions to teach you all about wine production across the globe (not just in Bordeaux!).

Take, for example, the virtual helicopter ride that “soars” over 20 winemaking regions in 17 countries, or the simulated boat ride that’ll teach you how wine merchants transported their precious cargo back in the day.

There’s also the Belvedere, which offers visitors a 360-degree panoramic view of Bordeaux, which visitors can enjoy along with — of course — a wine tasting.

If that wasn’t enough, La Cité du Vin offers tasting workshops on how to pair things like chocolate and cheese with wine, and guided tours, a retail shop, and a theater.
