From 1st April to 1st November 2026
Via Sensoria is a unique sensory tasting journey: a one-hour journey through pavilions themed around the four seasons, combining artistic displays with seasonal drinks pairings, all designed to stimulate your taste buds. In a small group (maximum 15 people), accompanied by a sommelier guide, you will taste four wines from the Bordeaux vineyards (or original non-alcoholic beverages) specially paired with the artistic worlds and the four seasons.
Depending on the schedule, sessions are offered in French, English or Spanish to ensure an experience tailored to everyone.
Drinks tasted
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cité du Vin, a new selection of drinks will be offered for the 2026 edition, with four Bordeaux wines!
Wine tastings are reserved for over-18s, with non-alcoholic drinks available for minors.
To find out more
Via Sensoria is a soothing experience, a sensory interlude where four artistic universes echo surprising tastings of four Bordeaux wines or non-alcoholic drinks, combined with visual, sound, olfactory and poetic creations.
This is not a tasting workshop, nor is it a traditional or immersive exhibition. It's a unique sensory experience!
The experience takes place over an hour, accompanied by a wine expert.
Whether you're a beginner or a novice, a wine lover or not, adults and children alike can get to grips with this journey which, far from the conventional codes of wine tasting, offers surprising combinations of artistic environments and a selection of four Bordeaux wines and non-alcoholic beverages.
6 original poems, specially created for this experience, also punctuate the route, to complete this dreamlike work.
Via Sensoria takes you on a journey to the rhythm of the seasons, with a relaxing offer that's resolutely turned towards nature. From dawn to dusk, take a day-long journey through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
