South West France is home to the great wines of Bordeaux, but also has at its heart the vibrant wine-making skills of dedicated independent vignerons in exciting lesser-known wine regions such as Cahors, Duras, Bergerac, Madiran and many others.

Our holiday package can not only take you to the prestigious châteaux of Bordeaux, but more importantly, we will also immerse you in the life of the small, independent winemaker, where a new generation are crafting exciting wines using modern techniques but without losing sight of that essential French characteristic of “Terroir”.

At the same time as you are discovering the variety of our wines, you will be relaxing amid the gently-rolling, tranquil countryside of Lot et Garonne. With its small towns and lively markets, the rural lifestyle of times past is still in evidence; peasant farmers still tend their cattle, their orchards of plums and apples and their crops of maize and wheat. Cut by the majestic Garonne and the gentle Lot rivers, the limestone plateau, are crowned with woods where buzzards circle and wild boar and deer roam freely.

Our holiday packages are designed to be flexible and offer from 1 to 5 days which can be tailored to the interests of individual groups. Add-on accommodation is available should you wish to extend your holiday.
