Vivanco Museum of the Culture of Wine
Museo Vivanco de la Cultura del Vino
A large wine museum beside the village of Briones, covering 8,000 years of wine culture, a corkscrew collection and Picasso's ceramic wine vessels.
The Vivanco Museum of the Culture of Wine was founded by the Vivanco family winery and is considered by many wine critics to be one of the finest wine museums in the world. Five galleries trace the story from grape growing and winemaking to oak barrels and the image of Bacchus in art. The collection includes more than 3,000 corkscrews and works by artists including Picasso. The outdoor 'Garden of Bacchus' grows over 200 grape varieties. Admission is about 16 euros, and guided tours and tastings can be added for an extra fee. The museum is closed on Mondays. Next door, Briones is a hilltop village rated one of 'the most beautiful villages in Spain'.
