The Gallery of Civilisations

Wine has been a part of the history of civilisations for millennia. Wine for everyday life and for sharing, wines to honour special events and in politics, wines for medicinal or sacred purposes, etc. This beverage has always occupied a special place in social customs and featured prominently in rituals.

Wander through the ten rooms of this gallery and embark on an immersive journey from the earliest civilisations through to the 20^th century, via Egyptian tombs, a Greek banquet, Roman taverns, 17^th-century England, and even Bordeaux châteaux of the 19^th century, among others.
