Bordeaux Wine Museum (Musée du Vin et du Négoce)
18th-century merchant house with guided wine tastings
The Bordeaux Wine Museum (Musée du Vin et du Négoce) is located at 41 rue Borie in the heart of Bordeaux, within the historic wine merchant district. Housed in a typical 18th-century merchant’s house, the museum offers visitors a historical immersion into the city's port and wine trade. The building features architectural details such as arched windows and decorative ironwork. While the museum occupies only a small portion of the original structure, with the rest converted into apartments, it provides a focused experience on the region's viticultural heritage.
Visitors can explore the museum and culminate their visit with a guided tasting session led by a mediator. The experience includes a cellar visit and wine tasting, allowing guests to engage directly with the products of the region. Oenology workshops are also available to teach wine tasting skills and knowledge. Reception and tastings are available in multiple languages, making the site accessible to international travelers.
The museum is open Monday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is easily accessible by foot or via public transport, including Tram B at the Chartrons stop and Tram C at the Camille Godard stop. For inquiries, the contact number is 05 56 90 19 13. The museum also hosts a seasonal cultural calendar featuring music, afterworks, tastings, and meetings with producers. Additionally, the venue can be privatized for seminars, birthdays, and exhibitions. This site serves as an essential stop for understanding the commercial and cultural history of Bordeaux’s wine industry.
