Hameau Duboeuf — Attraction in Mâcon

I can't go along with all these positive judgments. The museum shares much knowledge, even "wine experts" will learn something. But it is a pity, 1.) that many pieces have no explanation, other explanations cannot be seen, because some parts of the rooms are very dark; even the objects suffer from the darkness. 2) that one cannot go through without waiting for further entrance at some places, because there are video performances at fixed times. 3.) The movies are interesting in a certain way, but a kind of advertisement for the region, the music and singing is a kind of entertainment that I feed absorbed, interesting to get information. All in all, one loses unexpectedly much time by waiting.

4.) The friendly staff is aware to mention the closing times of the different parts of the offered rooms, but they don't mention and it is impossible even in the leaflet to see how far away the garden is. On the other hand, I cannot understand why the garden cannot close at the same time as the museum. In the end, one feels cheated, because by waiting, one has to blame oneself for the long time spent...

Dont miss this place! It's only 1h45 from Geneva and 35 minutes from Lyon.It is not only a wine experience but also a voyage through the Beaujolais region. The place is amazing. Adults and children will learn while having fun walking through the attractions and the museum. Every step allows to discover the passion of the owners : The Station, the garden with bicycles and a mini-golf, the winemaking process. The staff is dedicated and helpful. The owners are on the site most of the time and always available to chat and share their passion. For wine experts, there is a dedicated room to taste and discover the wines of the region. The restaurant offers a great selection of local specialities at a very good price. Dont miss "The Boutique" a great place to shop souvenirs and products fitting all budgets. Had a great time and will most certainly go back before Christmas as everyone we met insisted on the magical atmosphere at the end...

Ended up here due to weather not allowing us to sit by swimming pool. Wow what can I say, entrance fee very good and it gives you access to 3 museums (which you don't have to visit all on the same day). The first museum is huge and takes you through the making of wine through the ages before seeing how the vineyards are kept and when the grapes are harvested. A brilliant interactive cinema experience which the children enjoyed and then moving on to seeing how bottles and corks are made before finishing off with a free wine tasting experience. The second museum requires a journey by a road train where you see the wine being made and stored (here there is a free mini golf and garden size chess for the children). The third museum was smaller and was about the train network.

The first museum takes about 2 hours to visit The second about an hour The third...
