The Tour

An immersive museum in 18th-century vaulted cellars

Through four themed spaces, you explore the vine, the terroir, the winemaking process, the senses of wine, and the people who shape it.

Station by station, your senses are engaged: feel the soils, smell the aromas, observe a wine's colour, play at guessing a grape variety…

Each room invites you to understand what makes a wine singular: the climate, the soil, the expertise, and the choices of the winemaker.

  • 01History of wine — 7,000 years of civilisation
  • 02Terroirs — touch to understand
  • 03Winemaking — from grape to glass
  • 04In wine's shadow — portraits of viticulturalists, nurserymen, arborists, and cellar masters
Terroir room at Le Petit Musée du Vin — light table with a Beaujolais map under a stone vault
