musée-caveau le 1900

We managed to spend over 2 hours here, what with all the things to see, watch, listen too and then to have it topped off with a super degustation of wine and vinegars done by Florence, who was delightful.

What I loved about this was the effort and energy this family run business puts into selling it's proudly produced food and wine. The museum tells a story of some of the history of the area, but also the passions of the family including how their wine is produced. You can then sample their products for free at the end of the museum tour before deciding whether to buy. A super way to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Very reasonable entry too - about 12€ total for 2 adults and 2 teenagers including the generous tasting! This place and the family who run it deserve success.

Small family museum, created around the theme of wine, because the founders of the museum are wineries, nice and friendly. You discover the region at the beginning of last century, between land and sea, with vines as a backdrop. Collections of objects are also from the family and relive the past. This is a museum to visit that children enjoy, especially the show that revived the train linking Lagrasse in Narbonne, with vibrating seats. There are still many things to see, but the best thing is to go there.

Were driving around southern France and visited the village. After wandering around went in just to have a look and was warmly welcomed. We were told that out of season could look around exhibition for free and so did. Very interesting collection of dolls, children's toys and jewellery. Also upstairs fascinating insight into grape varieties and where they are grown. At the end we had a taste of some wine and vinegar and it was certainly good enough to buy and bring home. My wife is still enjoying the superb wine vinegar (tyme). My son despatched the wine shortly after we gave him it! If in the village a visit really is a must - superb hospitality, interesting items and lovely produce.

Great place to visit and discover Lagrasse as it was back in the 1900s. Very friendly staff. Several languages available via headphones. You can also buy some really nice vinegars and wines. Upstairs are some wonderful 3D models of the town and surrounding countryside, including many of the Cathar castles to be found in this region.

The town of Lagrasse is charming and well worth the visit itself. Whilst there, pop into this little family-run museum. The owner's mother collected all the displays over many years and they have been organised into displays showing life in a typical French provincial town at the turn of the 20th century. It is quite slick, with an audio tour in many languages, very interesting, well organised and enjoyable, with helpful, friendly staff. Then, at the end, you find yourself in a bar. The owner makes wine and artisan vinegars. His father makes olive oil and you get a chance to try them all out (and buy some as well, if you like!), as well as other local produce. The wine is good, as is the vinegar, and the olive oil and all the stuff they produce. It seems the more you try, the more you want. Hence, best to leave the car behind.

This is a small museum set up by a family explaining life in the French countryside and village around 1900. Cost €3 average for our group of 8. A lovely sound track and tableaux of life over the seasons, no computer gadgetry but the 4 sern it all tech savvy teenagers in our party loved it. At the end we tasted the wines and amazing vinegars and couldn't resist buying some although there was no hard sell. The staff / guide was lovely and helpful and we all enjoyed an hour there. Lagrasse was very pretty, we swam in the river nearby as recommended by the museum staff as the river in town was busy and had what we all agreed the best day of our weeks holiday.

An artist with Olive oils and vinegars - we went just to browse and loved most of what we tasted/tried. Only a matter of time before this guy is discovered by global chefs and products get picked up

We weren't expecting to enjoy the Musee 1900 so much, however, this family run museum is a real labour of love. Very specially laid out with storey to bring you on a journey through the past and the life of vintners of the region. You will see an absolutely amazing collection of jewellery, fans, dolls and keepsakes to name but a few in this little paradise of memorabilia. Upstairs you can witness the story of the vineyard through the changing seasons. End the tour with a tasting session of the family wine, vinegars and other products.

Intrigued by the outside, we ventured in and were warmly welcomed by a lady who spoke excellent English. It was completely free! We were given headsets and moved round the museum which showed French life in 1900. At the end of the commentary we went upstairs where there was a brief explanation of the wine season - again in English.When we returned downstairs we were able to sample the wine and balsamic vinegar produced by the family who run the museum. The man who had appeared in the short video of wine making was the man who served us behind the bar with his samples! There was the opportunity to buy the products but no hard sell. Delightful and delicious!

Ce musée est à visiter absolument pour ceux qui passent dans le coin. Au delà de la collection impressionnante mise en valeur dans un joli décor, des sons et lumières originaux, c'est certainement la dégustation qui vous surprendra le plus. Les propriétaires, passionnés par leur métier, vous feront découvrir leur production de vins, vinaigres, huile d'olive etc... Nous n'aurions jamais pensé que gouter des vinaigres serait aussi agréable, les balsamiques sont exceptionnels.Un grand merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil chaleureux.

Pour petits et grands, des maquettes où rien n'est oublié : magnifiques. Quand aux flacons du vinaigre, on dirait des potions magiques.

De visite à Lagrasse pour son abbaye qui,soit dit en passant fut fade et insipide...bref sans saveurs...nous sommes allés,par l'odeur,alléchés par les avis tripadvisor dans ce petit musé qui fut réellement à la hauteur de nos attentes.Ce fut une totale immersion dans les temps jadis ou naguère bref dans la corbière de 1900.Nous en prîmes plein les sens,imposé jusqu'à l'apothéose,la dégustation des produits bien d'aujourd'hui,que le temps a sublimé,en fût gardé,à l'instar de leurs savoir-faire...
