As you take the brand new tour of the Byrrh wine cellar, you'll discover this huge, impressive industrial heritage. The history of one of the 20th century's largest companies is told with the aid of new technology, which presents a series of ?apparitions? as you follow the tour.One thing you must see is the largest oak vat in the world, testimony to the Violet family's ambitions for Byrrh: a real technical achievement, holding over a million litres!
