We weren't expecting to enjoy the Musee 1900 so much, however, this family run museum is a real labour of love. Very specially laid out with storey to bring you on a journey through the past and the life of vintners of the region. You will see an absolutely amazing collection of jewellery, fans, dolls and keepsakes to name but a few in this little paradise of memorabilia. Upstairs you can witness the story of the vineyard through the changing seasons. End the tour with a tasting session of the family wine, vinegars and other products.
un lieu magique, hors du temps et la dégustation finale, hyper originale, vite noë pour des achats uniques...
Intrigued by the outside, we ventured in and were warmly welcomed by a lady who spoke excellent English. It was completely free! We were given headsets and moved round the museum which showed French life in 1900. At the end of the commentary we went upstairs where there was a brief explanation of the wine season - again in English.When we returned downstairs we were able to sample the wine and balsamic vinegar produced by the family who run the museum. The man who had appeared in the short video of wine making was the man who served us behind the bar with his samples! There was the opportunity to buy the products but no hard sell. Delightful and delicious!
De visite à Lagrasse pour son abbaye qui,soit dit en passant fut fade et insipide...bref sans saveurs...nous sommes allés,par l'odeur,alléchés par les avis tripadvisor dans ce petit musé qui fut réellement à la hauteur de nos attentes.Ce fut une totale immersion dans les temps jadis ou naguère bref dans la corbière de 1900.Nous en prîmes plein les sens,imposé jusqu'à l'apothéose,la dégustation des produits bien d'aujourd'hui,que le temps a sublimé,en fût gardé,à l'instar de leurs savoir-faire...
Pour petits et grands, des maquettes où rien n'est oublié : magnifiques. Quand aux flacons du vinaigre, on dirait des potions magiques.
We managed to spend over 2 hours here, what with all the things to see, watch, listen too and then to have it topped off with a super degustation of wine and vinegars done by Florence, who was delightful.
What I loved about this was the effort and energy this family run business puts into selling it's proudly produced food and wine. The museum tells a story of some of the history of the area, but also the passions of the family including how their wine is produced. You can then sample their products for free at the end of the museum tour before deciding whether to buy. A super way to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Very reasonable entry too - about 12€ total for 2 adults and 2 teenagers including the generous tasting! This place and the family who run it deserve success.
Were driving around southern France and visited the village. After wandering around went in just to have a look and was warmly welcomed. We were told that out of season could look around exhibition for free and so did. Very interesting collection of dolls, children's toys and jewellery. Also upstairs fascinating insight into grape varieties and where they are grown. At the end we had a taste of some wine and vinegar and it was certainly good enough to buy and bring home. My wife is still enjoying the superb wine vinegar (tyme). My son despatched the wine shortly after we gave him it! If in the village a visit really is a must - superb hospitality, interesting items and lovely produce.
très intéressant ,la vie de 1900 est bien documenté . les documentaires sont très biens La dégustation de vinaigres à goûter excellente
An artist with Olive oils and vinegars - we went just to browse and loved most of what we tasted/tried. Only a matter of time before this guy is discovered by global chefs and products get picked up
