Wine and culture, a marriage that lasts

Châteaux with special collections

The collections at château Mouton-Rothschild or Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande are fine examples of when museums of art, history and wine combine. There are also newer places such as La Winery, a huge wine shop but also a restaurant and a place for exhibitions and performances. Speak to the tourist office for information about visits, often guided, of the many properties.
