  • Is the tour Hop on Hop off? / Can we go down and up at certain places on the circuit?

    Our bus tours are not Hop on Hop off, that is to say that the visit is continuous, without stops to get off. Nevertheless, the buses stop for a few moments at strategic points to take nice pictures!

  • What is the departure address of the bus?

    The departure and return point is next to the Tourist Office, 40, allées d’Orléans 33000 Bordeaux

  • What happens if it rains during the visit?

    An electric tarpaulin can be unrolled on the roof in case of rain or strong heat, at the initiative of the driver.

    Nevertheless, we advise you to also bring an outfit adapted to the weather of the day.

  • Can I come with my dog?

    Your dog can accompany you, if it is kept on a leash

  • What happens if I bought a ticket on the website and the tour does not leave?

    If the minimum number of people is not reached for a departure, i.e. 5 people on the Bordeaux Authentic Tour, we will be able to offer you the visit on another schedule, or to refund you the ticket.

Exhibition – Around the world in 50 wine regions

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:

    • the morphology of wine-growing landscapes,
    • the representation of professional gestures
    • and the historical roots of the terroirs.

This curatorial approach highlights not only rarely displayed pieces but also the scientific and heritage-driven logic behind public acquisitions. The exhibition design follows a precise museographic framework aimed at illustrating how a collection evolves through institutional decisions and art market opportunities.
