Museum of Arts and Crafts of Vines and Wine
Open to the public since 1987, this permanent exhibition offers visitors a complete experience ranging from the vine plant, work in the vines and the cellar, through to wine tasting.
It also presents some of the auxiliary trades associated with wine, such as oenology, barrel making, cork and glass production, and an entire reprepsentation, from labels to engravings and many other surprising objects, including the intriguing ‘aroma organ’. The Museum of Arts and Crafts of Vines and Wine gives not only an idea of what constituted a trade, but what it meant. It follows the theme of Vines and Wine, but also seeks to transmit emotion, without which human endeavour is nothing.
This is the inspiration behind this exhibition which is unique in the Médoc.
Audio-visual
In the projection room, equipped with comfortable armchairs, you can enjoy a film about all the work that takes place in the cellar and the vineyard.
The passion and the history of wine as seen by the DOURTHE family.
