Visitors at the heart of an immersive exhibition

Visitors can enjoy various interactive and collaborative experiences to satisfy their curiosity. This ‘Noble Wine’ exhibition will set out the regional and winemaking identity of Monbazillac across various themed areas through which visitors can stroll as they choose. A large-scale wall projection showcases the beauty of the vineyards at a glance and brings the Monbazillac landscape to life in harmony with nature. This ‘mapping’ fully immerses visitors in the heart of the Dordogne and invites them on a journey to experience the rhythm of the seasons and surrender to the wonderfully slow processes of contemplation and discovery. Interviews with winemakers and the cellar master punctuate the route, with a dialogue being established between men and women. Visitors will also be able to refresh their knowledge by consulting infographics, offering up ancestral expertise that has been passed down through multiple generations.
