It is presented in a very entertaining and educational way the creation of a wine from the beginning until we can enjoy it sitting at the table. We are also introduced to different types of wines that we can find in the world with their characteristics.

Too many people and waiting to get to some of the smelling globes. Also, no seating at some of the exhibits. A bit touristy. The reviews made it sound so fun. We did learn some facts. I also liked the outside exterior of the museum. The line upstairs for the taste of wine was so long....meh! Then, after recieving the wine, there were no chiars to sit and enjoy it.
