Program & Itinerary
Embark on an Unforgettable Full-Day Private Dordogne Wine Tour
Join our small group private Dordogne wine tour, departing from Sarlat-la-Canéda (with pick-up available in the vicinity), to immerse yourself in the delightful local wines of the region. Begin your experience with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Sarlat or the surrounding area, where you'll meet your knowledgeable English-speaking driver/guide. They will provide you with an overview of the itinerary and program for the day. Prepare to travel in comfort aboard our recent and air-conditioned minivan, which can accommodate up to 8 individuals.
Explore the Scenic Dordogne Wine Region
Setting off from Sarlat, our day trip will take you along charming countryside roads, offering picturesque views of the landscape, historic small towns, and traditional villages nestled alongside the Dordogne River.
Indulge in a Visit and Wine Tasting in the Bergerac Wine Region
Our first stop will be in the renowned Bergerac wine producing area. Here, you'll have the opportunity to partake in a guided visit and a captivating wine tasting session. Discover the locally acclaimed Pecharmant wines, which are characterized by their full-bodied reds crafted from a blend of Merlot, Malbec (known locally as Cot), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes. These wines, considered of higher quality than the average Bergerac wines, showcase a distinctive rustic charm.
Enjoy Free Time for Personal Exploration and Lunch in Bergerac (at own expense)
Following the visit, your driver/guide will drop you off in the heart of Bergerac's historic center. Immerse yourself in the town's enchanting atmosphere, characterized by its narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and Gothic architecture. Don't miss the chance to capture a memorable photo with the statue of Cyrano de Bergerac. Bergerac is renowned for its culinary delights and exceptional wines, allowing you ample free time to savor a delicious lunch and explore the town's unique offerings at your own pace.
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.
Return to Your Accommodation, Marking the End of Our Services
As the day draws to a close, we'll transport you back to your accommodation, ensuring your safe return. We hope you cherish the memories of this exceptional Dordogne wine tour experience. Should you seek further enchanting adventures, we offer additional private tours to explore the captivating wineries of the Black Périgord region.
