La Cité du Vin and Bordeaux Ferry

The ground floor houses a cellar-library of 9,752 bottles, from over 80 countries. Visitors are able to taste and purchase directly as there is wine bar open to the public not too far from the gift shop, which is operated by La Cité du Vin.

On the first floor there is a conference room, discovery workshops, and a 250-seat auditorium which hosts events all-year long.

The second floor which is the the heart museum, takes visitors on an immersive journey through time and concentrates on the discovery of wine as a cultural heritage. Twenty-five sections make up the museum, with the tour lasting around two hours. The visitors have interactive translation guides that assist with the experience for all the interactive multimedia multimedia exhibitions.

On the 7th floor is a panoramic restaurant (Le 7), and on the 8th floor, a belvédère climbs to a total height of 35 meters high, and offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the port de la Lune.

The BatCub river shuttle is a very pleasant alternative to discover the port of Bordeaux and also to get from one side of the riverbank to another. The BatCub (Bordeaux Ferry) forms a piece of Bordeaux’s transport network and allows interconnections with the three tram lines and the exchange hubs of Stalingrad, Quinconces and Cité du Vin.
