Vineyard at Monbazillac

We visited this Vineyard at Monbazillac in Sept and spent 2 nights there. The owners do not speak English, however they were incredibly friendly and helpful never the less. Lots of pointing and gestures. The pitches are terraced and generally level with superb views over the vineyard and when we visited there were another 5 vans well spaced. There are picnic tables at each pitch and the owner provides levelling blocks if required. Water is available as is toilet emptying facility. Its about 8 km from Bergerac and well signed. It was the start of our tour of the Dordogne and we were sad to leave.

Norrie and Laura Bradshaw

The Carnet des Invitations is published in 3 languages: French, English, German (main texts also in Spanish, Italian and Dutch).
