Dinner is Served!
Celebrating wine as a way of life
What could be more natural than eating and drinking? What could be more convivial than sharing a meal?
If we are so fond of dining together, it is because wine delights the mind as well as the senses! Accompanied by delicious food, it offers a unique sensorial experience, a true journey through worlds of colours, aromas and flavours that awaken our imagination. Through the magic of our senses and our memories, it transports us to other places and other experiences.
In this section of the Permanent Exhibition, step into an immersive show centred around a table, at once a simple picnic table at the seaside, and a richly furnished banquet table. Surrounded by images, both on the animated table and on the walls around you, you will be plunged into a dreamlike and magical show.
Let yourself be swept away in the whirlwind of sensations!
Discover how each wine carries within it a whole new sensorial world that opens the door to much broader realms of imagination.
- Sparkling wines with their ballet of bubbles and subtle notes of lime, acacia, etc.; these are wines of lightness, joy and celebration.
- White wines with a mineral dryness, whose acidity and iodine notes evoke the vivacity of the waves and fresh sea-spray, and transport us to the ocean.
- The colour of passion, red wines are rich and smooth, bursting with notes of red and black fruit and deep humus like a forest floor; these are wines of love that accompany wedding dinners.
- Rosé wines with their tender colours and delicate aromas of raspberry, melon or peach, supple and fresh; these are wines of simplicity and a carefree spirit.
- Sweet wines with their moving, golden colour, that exhale opulent notes of spices, candied apricots and dates, wines of extreme riches, like a luxurious fabric on the palate with a long-lingering finish; these wines are gems, treasures that herald yuletide festivities.
All wines invite you on a unique journey…
The Cité du Vin offers you the occasion to experience these precious moments, where every sip of wine and every morsel of food is a reminder of the beauty and conviviality of sharing.
Book your visit to the Permanent Exhibition today and plunge into an experience that will awaken all your senses!
