La Cité du Vin — which translates to The City of Wine, is an €80 million wine-themed park that opened its doors in Bordeaux, France. The business offers immersive experiences to guests who are interested in acquiring more knowledge about the grape-derived alcoholic beverage through hands-on experiences. From premium wine tastings and educational wine tours to informative museum exhibits and a laid-back wine bar, La Cité du Vin is bound to be a popular destination for connoisseurs. The experience also includes "a simulated boat ride to[make one] feel like a wine merchant," as well as exposure to breathtaking views and a striking twisted metal architecture that mimics the way wine swirls in a glass.
The wine-themed park offers about 800 varieties of the drink, sourced from 70 countries.
