Imaginarium: Dive into the Sparkling World of Burgundy Crémant! Guide
Welcome to the Imaginarium, a unique and interactive museum dedicated entirely to the effervescent delight that is Crémant de Bourgogne!

Prepare to be amazed by the artistry and passion that goes into every bottle! The Imaginarium isn't just about tasting (though there's plenty of that!). It's about understanding the entire process, from the vine to the glass. Learn about the traditional methods used to create Crémant, explore the different grape varieties that contribute to its unique flavor profile, and discover the secrets behind the perfect bubble. The museum cleverly blends historical information with interactive displays, making learning about wine surprisingly engaging. You'll even get a chance to test your senses and identify different aromas and flavors. Beyond the exhibits, the Imaginarium offers a range of activities to enhance your visit. Take a guided tour of the cellars, participate in a Crémant tasting workshop led by expert sommeliers, or even try your hand at blending your own sparkling wine! The on-site boutique offers a wide selection of Crémant de Bourgogne, along with other regional specialties, perfect for taking a piece of Burgundy home with you. And of course, no visit is complete without indulging in a glass (or two!) at the bar, paired with local cheeses and charcuterie. The region is known for its Dijon mustard, so be sure to try some with your cheese!
