Wine Theme Park


Disney World has nothing on this place. It’s an adult theme park in Bordeaux, France, that’s dedicated to the nectar of the grape. This brand new wine amusement park, called “La Cité du Vin” (“the city of wine”) sits on the bank of the Garonne River in the heart of the famous wine region. Taking seven years to complete, every aspect and structure of the place is wine related representing such things as wine swirling in a glass and gnarled vine stocks. There are tastings led by experts, famous stories of drunkenness and a place to purchase wine. And yes, like other amusement parks, there are rides too, like a simulated boat journey on a merchant’s galley around the world. It opened June 1 and costs about $20 to get in.
