Your testimonials and reviews of Château de Goulaine

Great for the whole family!

“It’s a well-designed museum, with something for everyone, with a range of accessible activities for young visitors. And a very well thought-out temporary exhibition on the women who have left their mark on the Nantes vineyards! Combining archives, contemporary art, video resources, texts… And little “+ Facile” bubbles for those who aren’t very good at reading! I’d definitely recommend it, it’s great for the whole family and it ends with a free tasting of Muscadet or local grape juice!

The grapes have been harvested

“It’s a nice little museum where you can see some lovely old wine presses and learn about the methods and tools used to harvest grapes. Visited as part of a school outing, friendly guide, we picked the grapes and tasted the fruit of our labours. A good grape juice. Enjoy your visit.
