Take part in this small group private Dordogne wine tour departing from Sarlat la Canéda or its surrounding area to discover local wines of the area. You'll be picked up from your accommodation by your driver/guide, who will introduce you to the itinerary and program of the day.
This day trip will have you first travel on small countryside roads that will enable you to admire the landscape, pass through historic small towns and traditional villages as you drive along the Dordogne River.
Your first stop will be in the Bergerac wine producing area. You'll visit and take part in a wine tasting session with local wines called Pecharmant. This little known appellation of the Bergerac wine region is famous for producing full-bodied red wines that are made from a blend of Merlot, Malbec and both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes.
After your visit, you'll stop in the Bergerac historic center with charming small streets, half-timbered houses with Gothic architecture. See if you can locate the statue of Cyrano de Bergerac. The town and the region are also famous for their local food and wine, which you will have some free time to explore and have lunch.
After lunch, you'll be taken to another local family owned winery to understand the type of wines that are made in the French region with a tasting session. Depending on the time, you may have time to visit one of the last remaining wineries of the Black Périgord which produces local wines that age in terra-cotta pots.
