One of the Best Places To Visits in Thuir Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. The huge barrels of alcohol are a must-see, and the aromas are so nice! The "free" isn't actually free. You have to pay for the audio guide. And the tasting at the end is tiny and non-comprehensive. All things told, it's still worth the visit, and the guide, which was informative and easy to use. Amazing winery/distillery with the largest wooden wine vat in the world. Pleasant self guided audio with a taste of Byrrh at the conclusion. €6.50 for the & tastes. If you are a wine-lover - this place is just for you. The story of the company is presented in a creative way: through the speech holographic figures. Guides only speak French, but for the foreigners they have translation headphones. The biggest wine in the world is located here, and, honestly, the 2 stars are just for that. Good place, but the stuff is fatigue and tourists are everywhere, so sometimes it’s hard to see what you want🤷‍♀️ Very cool museum for an hour. See the largest crates in the world..and tasting at the end is lovely. Good setup. Audio guides in a mln languages. Loved the building! My bad is leaving our newly bought bottles of Byrrh at the lovely cafe opposite of the museum entrance .... It's a very good museum to visit, they're lot's of history to see ans learn about . I would recommend anyone to it's worth the time seeing. It was such a fun place with a lot to look at. The was about an hour long and had several educational videos that helped fill a time line of the history of Byhhr. We really learned a lot. At the end of the we were able to buy whatever product they made. We took our dogs on the too. It really made f9r a positive experience... until my dog needed to poo. We found the exit quiqly. We were pardoned without Hassel and even given free tastings at the end. Definitely recommend the experience. The tasty beverages made up for the somewhat long tour. A must site of the Pyrenees 🙂👍 Really interesting place to and fascinating history. Story of two brothers who started out selling haberdashery and cloth to make clothes and the other brother who wanted to concentrate on making a special "medicinal brew". The brew became so popular they used to ship to countries all over the world. So popular they built the worlds largest oak barrel which is still on show today. There is so much more to the story than that and is absolutely worth a visit. Guided tours are in French but other languages including English are catered for by way of a little handheld gadget that translates the appropriate parts of the tour. Per person this is about €6 for an adult and less for a child. Children under 8 years old are free. There are tastings of the current recipe Byrrh at the end of the guided along with the previous recipe. Byrrh is widely available but the older recipe Byrrh is only available to buy here at the Byrrh shop. Several other drinks are made here at this location including Dubonnet and several others. Many of the large barrels on display are drying out and need refurbishment to enable the company to preserve them. It is possible to contribute to help save these unusual heritage items online. This place is one of the Patrimoine pass visits so remember to pick up or bring your pass to get it stamped as it will save you a little money if you are planning on making on several visits elsewhere in the area. Highly interesting visit, very well contextualized with additional information at every step of the tour. The staff are super friendly and kind. Also, a remarkably pet-friendly visit. Our dog didn't need to wait outside, and she event got a complimentary bag of treats! We live in Thuir and have visited the Caves irregularly since 1996. Over that time, the visiting experience has changed enormously for the better and is now truly excellent. Last night's was organised by the local insurance company Groupama which, having been originally founded as a mutuelle/self help co-op, still holds Annual General Meetings for its members. In addition to even further improvements in the visiting experience, the town of Thuir/ Community of Communes des Aspres have transformed part of the many buildings of the Villa Palauda Estate adjacent to the factory into the most beautiful assembly room(s) available for weddings, conferences, etc. If the Villa Palauda gardens are open when you the Caves make sure you them ask well. The Thuir Tourist Office is in the same place as the entry to the Caves so they will be able to give you information on local sites of interest. There is a large free car park opposite. Absolutely fascinating story about Bhyrr and how it has been popular for so many years. A really lovely drink.
