The world's first wine theme park

If rollercoasters, giant drops and candy floss don't quite satisfy you, then you might be excited to hear that France has opened its own 10-story theme park - dedicated purely to wine! Now that sounds like our sort of attraction.

La Cité du Vin, translated to City of Wine, boasts 20 themed areas and exhibits, expert-led tasting sessions, history sessions, bars and restaurants with over 50 varieties of wine plus a boat ride to show what it’s like being a sea merchant sailing around the world selling wine.

Although La Cité du Vin is calling itself a theme park, it’s rather more like a museum but it's still pretty impressive. The architecture of the building is visually stunning and designed to look like wine, flowing from a bottle. The theme park opened in Bordeaux on June 1st (and we're currently booking flights to France).
