I spent a quiet hour in the museum on a May morning learning a lot more about the complexity of grape and wine production. The explanation of the geological uniqueness of the Sancerre region was very well done and helpful, and I liked the personal stories of the growers related by video. And the overlook of the valley is worth... More

This museum/presentation was the best exhibition we saw of either wine or castles in three weeks of touring Burgundy and the Loire.

Very interesting, informative and well-laid out, modern presentation of the history of wine making in the Sancerre region. Worth every cent of the 5 Euro entrance charge for an adult. The videos are all subtitled in English, as are the information displays. Would highly recommend this. More

After our first visit 5 years ago, my wife & I visited "La Maison des Sancerre" for the second time. It is a great place dedicated to the vineyards of Sancerre. We just love the lit-up displays in the museum, including the inter-active screens and the 3D viewing panels. The film showing the origins of Sancerre thru-time is truly a... More
