Engage in Another Delightful Wine Tasting Session in the Afternoon

After a satisfying lunch, we'll escort you to another local winery, providing you with a deeper understanding of the diverse wines crafted in the area. Our preference is to include a visit and tasting at a family-owned winery, as this offers a more intimate and informative experience, particularly for those eager to delve into the world of French winemaking.

To conclude your day, depending on the schedule, we may stop at one of the remaining wineries in the Black Périgord region. This traditional winery specializes in wines aged in terra-cotta pots and showcases the unique characteristics of limestone terroirs. The red wines are crafted using Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Fer Servadou grapes, while the white wines feature Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon varieties.
