Vinseum – Catalan Wine Cultures Museum

The museum owns an extensive collection, with tools and instruments both ancient and modern, mock-ups and authentic models that reflect how evolving technology has been applied to vine growing and wine making.

In addition to that related to vine growing and wine making, there are also art, geology, palaeontology, ornithology and archaeology collections.

[1] The main building is an antique Medieval palace belonging to the monarchs of the Crown of Aragon, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, which subsequently underwent major alterations.

It was purchased by the Vilafranca Town Council in 1936 to Álvarez-Cuevas family to house the museum.

At the building on Carrer de la Palma, number 24, five minutes from the Royal Palace, the museum has installed a Vine and Wine Documentation Centre and the rest of the archives.
