Hameau Dubœuf, Wine theme park and museum in Romanèche-Thorins, France
Hameau Dubœuf is a wine park and museum where dozens of exhibition rooms showcase tools, equipment, and objects documenting wine production methods and regional craftsmanship. The site includes original cellars and a working railway station that visitors can explore throughout their tour.
The wine cellars date back to the 1800s and were dug into the earth to maintain stable temperatures for storing wine during fermentation and aging. The railway station built around the same period became crucial for shipping barrels to distant cities and helped the local industry grow.
The site shows how wine shaped the region's identity by displaying the daily work and tools of vineyard workers across centuries. You can see how different generations built their lives around the harvest and production.
The site is easy to walk through with clear paths connecting the exhibition areas, cellars, and railway station, making it accessible for visitors of different abilities. On-site facilities include a restaurant, a wine shop, and free parking for those arriving by car.
The park preserves a luxury railway carriage that once belonged to a French emperor, offering a glimpse into 19th-century travel elegance. Visitors can also experience virtual flights over the surrounding vineyard landscapes, seeing the rolling hills and villages from above.
