Le Cassissium

About

Le Cassissium offers a one-of-a-kind journey into the world of the blackcurrant, France’s most celebrated berry. From the moment you step inside, an interactive museum brings the entire blackcurrant life‑cycle – from seed to harvest – to vivid life, complete with a multilingual film and a myriad of sensory displays. The highlight of the experience is a guided tour of Védrenne’s legendary liqueur factory followed by a tasting of the renowned crème de cassis, various liqueurs, and signature syrups. For those who wish to indulge further, the “Full Tour” adds a gourmet tasting session, a cocktail workshop and a selection of local delicacies, extending the visit to just over two hours. An inclusive experience for families, food lovers, and history enthusiasts alike, the museum also offers accessibility accommodations for visitors with reduced mobility, making it a welcoming destination for all. Whether you’re a seasoned palate or a curious traveler, Le Cassissium promises an engaging blend of culture, cuisine, and natural heritage. Its central location in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, coupled with easy public‑transport links and a convenient parking area, ensures that a day at Le Cassissium can be integrated smoothly into any Burgundy itinerary.
