The château (13th c.) is dedicated to the history and culture of Neuchâtel's vineyards. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a fascinating Roman mosaic depicting a symposium where wine flows freely. The rooms feature two wine presses, a collection of labels, wines of today, the charm of an oenotheque housing large paintings illustrating the daily life of winegrowers of yesteryear and one of Jean Lurçat's largest tapestries depicting a harvest scene. Other rooms with contemporary museography recount the history of containers, evoke the art of cooperage, and highlight the economic role of the vine for the country. You'll also see the work that goes into making the grapes, and the care that goes into growing them. Finally, the presence of old and contemporary photographs reminds us that the very mentality of the country is rooted in a two-thousand-year-old winegrowing tradition, as regular temporary exhibitions attest.
