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. This programme showcases a selection of photographs from partner regions, each of which has chosen an iconic image to embody its landscape, people or heritage.
The curatorial approach is based on a cross-sectional interpretation of the vineyards, without geographical hierarchy or strict technical classification. The photographs interact with each other through three major themes:

💡 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.

The exhibition *Circasciences en piste*, organised by Cap Sciences, is part of an initiative to bring advanced science to the general public through the lens of the circus arts. The exhibition design features a series of interactive installations that allow visitors to analyse the physical mechanisms employed by performers during their acts. This educational approach transforms a fun experience into a genuine scientific laboratory accessible to the general public.
Located on the quays of Bordeaux, right next to the Cité du Vin, this exhibition benefits from a strategic position within a well-established tourist ecosystem. This location makes it easy to incorporate into a wider urban discovery itinerary, particularly through organised tours.
