For the lovers of wine: La Cité du Vin

Bordeaux will become the capital of wine on 1st June 2016 with the opening of La Cité du Vin. It’s the world’s first cultural center devoted to wine, designed by Parisian architects XTU and funded by its home city of Bordeaux. But this is more than just a very pretty tasting room (though, yes, there are three of them in the facility). La Cité du Vin places the history of wine within an immersive environment that blends theatricality—3D imagery, aroma diffusion—with multifaceted exhibitions exploring wine as a societal force, sculptor of landscapes, an inspiration to artists, and source of myth.
