Museum located under the gardens of the graceful castle dear to Balzac, with tools, objects, and engravings.
Located under the gardens of the graceful castle dear to Balzac, in cellars dug in the tufa stone perhaps a thousand years ago, the museum of Moncontour evokes the vine and the wine through more than 3 000 parts: many tools, objects, engravings and other documents resulting from several collections. From the vineyard work to the elaboration of sparkling wines and from the cooperage to the wine trade, a very instructive little course which obviously ends with a glass in hand.

CON'S: The single person in the tasting room only spoke French and there are no English signs in the museum.
SUMMARY: This was an enjoyable stop but not a necessity.
Le musée est très varié et la découverte de très vieux outils est surprenante.
La cave permet de déguster avant de choisir avant d'acheter.
Le personnel est sympathique et très accueillant.
The museum of wine making and grape growing equipment is fascinating. Do taste the bubbly!
