How can we imagine the past extent of the vineyard (200 ha in 1880) when there is no vine-growing? In the th century, the vine marked its mark and began to decline only at the beginning of the th century, following the crisis of phylloxera and other economic reasons. In the courtyard of the museum is exposed equipment used to collect, transport and press the grapes. The descent to the cellar teaches us everything about winemaking techniques through the presentation of barrels, objects and tools (chain to clean, iron to mark, bottle-bouche…). On the first floor, you enter the main apartment where the daily life of generations of cuiseliens winemakers is raised from furniture and objects dating from the th to the th century. In the second, a situation of the main tools of wine growers illustrates the annual cycle of work, from planting to harvest. A presentation of the tools of cooper, a reconstitution of the five stages of production of a tonneau and different projections completes the visit.
