The Cité du Vin is hosting the exhibition Around the World in 50 Wine Regions, a visual journey dedicated to the diversity of international wine-growing regions.

💡 Bordeaux City Tours’ tip
La Cité du Vin is served directly by the “Cité du Vin” stop of our Bordeaux Visiotour Hop-on Hop-off bus: easy to combine with a visit to Bord’eau Village or Cap Sciences, both close by, before hopping back on toward another part of Bordeaux.
This scenography promotes a comparative understanding of wine-growing systems, whether European, American, African or Asian. Visitors discover contrasting environments, ranging from hillside vineyards to irrigated plains and areas of heroic viticulture. The images reflect the agronomic choices, specific cultivation practices and climatic adaptations specific to each production area.
This exhibition is fully in line with Bordeaux’s strategy to promote its cultural heritage as the world capital of wine. It is part of a comprehensive approach to wine tourism, combining cultural mediation, architectural heritage and an immersive experience.
The Cité du Vin is a key destination for visitors wishing to deepen their understanding of international wine dynamics. The complementary nature of the permanent exhibition, temporary events and educational programme broadens the spectrum of analysis, from the history of the wine trade to contemporary issues related to climate change.
n this vein, visiting the exhibition can be combined with an urban exploration of Bordeaux. You will have the opportunity to tour the city aboard our Visiotours bus, a panoramic bus offering a guided tour of the main heritage sites.
