Welcome to Dordogne Vineyard Tours

If you drink wine and like it.. this is a must do This is a family run business which complements the vineyards they take you to as they are also family run operations (no large corporations to be found here). We had a smashing day, one for the memory books for sure.. here's a few reasons we thought it was great: 1) We like drinking wine but know little about it. Vince taught us so much through out the day but in such a gentle informative way. He really did recognise your level and adapt what he was saying to that.. thanks vince! 2) The vineyards we visited were all local. We met the owners who are doing their best to create something they are very proud of. This tour gives you access I suspect you simply wouldn't get by pulling up and knocking on the door 3) There is a wine for everyone. We tried 16 in the day and I can't say we loved them all you but I can say we bought a lot back with us. Its great to sample all the wines they are making (especially their speciality wines) 4) Lunch was great - Sue is a fantastic host. Under tree, in the sun, view for miles, bottle of wine .. whats not to love! 5) Taxis in France are expensive. This makes this day out great value. No one has to worry about driving for the day, food and water is all provided, you secure decade's worth of knowledge from both Vince and the winemakers. I could go on.. Its a relaxing day where you can leave the world behind and explore what the Dordogne Winemakers have to offer!

Relaxed, knowledgable afternoon tour Sue and Vincent made every effort to accommodate us and put on a beautiful and informative afternoon of wine tasting. Starting with a lunch of delicious local produce amongst the vines of Pecharmant, Vincent shared his extensive knowledge of the wines and production around Bergerac. The tour took in both local family run vineyards and more progressive ‘new comers’ to the area. Dordogne Vineyard Tours is expertly showcasing the hidden wines of the Bergerac appellation regions.

A wonderful day Very informative , personal and friendly tour. We loved it! Lunch in the vineyard was fabulous. Sue and Vincent were delightful guides and nothing was too much trouble. We’d love to do this again sometime.

Fantastic immersion into (the future of) wine-production in Bergerac We've been on wine tours before but what set this one apart was that we visited 3 Bergerac vineyards who, alongside making traditional Bergerac wines, are innovating in order to offer unusual wines. We really felt we got a glimpse into what Bergerac is going to be offering in the future. At each vineyard we actually met the owners of the vineyard, not just a sales person, each of whom clearly demonstrated their passion and their ambition for their work. What surprised me was that each explained how important regularly tasting the wine in production is. I'd expected it to be wholly based on science, but that isn't the case. We had lunch in the shade of a massive tree next to the vines in one of the vineyards. It was a delicious lunch, paired with a rosé from the vineyard. The whole organisation was smooth - being picked up in the morning, the van was cooled every time we got back into it, Vince was a fountain of knowledge and didn't care if we asked basic questions about winemaking! If you enjoy wine and want to be immersed in seeing, smelling and tasting how wine is made, this tour is for you. It will probably be the highlight of your holiday.

Excellent ! We had found Dordogne Vineyard Tours online and sent an email via their website, which had a prompt response so booked a full-day tour in early September. Picked up from our B&B in Beaumont-du-Perigord, Vincent first explained where we would be heading for the day, illustrating with maps the wine regions around Bergerac and the three that we would be visiting for out tastings. The transport, a very comfortable air-conditioned mini-van, was excellent and we made out way to the Rosette appellation for the morning tasting. This was followed by a short hop through Bergerac to the next vineyard in Percharment where Vincent’s wife, Sue, had prepared a wonderful lunch for us - set on a table under the shade of a plane tree, overlooking the vines. After lunch we enjoyed our second tastingbefore heading off to our last vineyard in Monbazillac. All in all an excellent day. Vincent & Sue are hospitality professionals who know their wines and the region. They delivered a fantastic day out for us both which represented great value for money. Highly recommended if you are visiting the region - they also offer a package where you can enjoy two vineyards plus a lunch at a Michelin star restaurant... something we hope to do for our next day out with Dordogne Vineyard Tours!

Winery tour at its best. Upon reference from friends, we contacted Dordogne Vinyard Tours (Sue and Vince) for a tour in the Bergerac Vignoble. After a short meeting regarding our expectations and wishes, we settled for a tour the following day, with plan visiting 3 vinyards in 3 different appellations. Vince picked us up in the morning, having all necessities towards the facemasks, sanitary gel and seperated seats in the van. We visited Chateau Payrel (Rosette), Chateau Terre Vieille (Péchament) and Chateau Barouillet (Monbazillac), 3 very different appellations and wines, as well as different aproach to making the wine. On the way to the Vineyards Vince informed of the Bergerac Vignoble, and the appellations, and gave us the possibility to ask questions. At the second Vineyard Sue and Vince had set set up a fantastic lunch. After the visits Vince dropped us of the the house. All winemakers gave us full attention and were just as eager to tell us about their wines and way of making the wine. The tour is for everyone, regardless any preknowledge of wine. A day without having to worry about transportation, food, wine knowledge, pandemic or other issues. Everything was taken well care of for us. We wil certainly be back for another tour with Sue and Vince, next time we visit the Bergerac area.

Wonderful wine tour Thank you Sue & Vincent for a very professional, knowledgeable tour of 3 fantastic and very different vineyards. Some great characters along the way which made for a very unique and personalised tour. Our party of 4 had such a great day and all came away with plenty of memories and plenty of wine! We went on the full day tour which included the most delicious lunch with locally sourced produce and the cheese with walnut liquor was simply divine! Great couple with a real passion!

Superb wine tour We wanted to thank Vincent and Sue for their wonderful hospitality and excellent knowledge during our recent wine tour. The experience of visiting the 3 vineyards was wonderful and the great lunch provided was superb. Vincent’s knowledge and experience with the vineyards is so enjoyable and we loved the many wines sampled , purchasing a few along the way. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Excellent value too as this is a full day tour. Thank you.

Awesome wine tours of the Bergerac area I went on a couple of wine tours with this company, the first one by myself and the second one with my wife. The owners (Sue and Vince) are very knowledgeable of the vineyards of the Bergerac region and provide this in depth knowledge in the manner that allows you to better understand the vineyards, the owners and types of wines available in the region. We toured a total of 5 vineyards and all were spaced with appropriate amount of time to spend at each vineyard to both taste the vineyards wines but also tour the vineyard and taste the grapes themselves. While I consider myself as fairly knowledgeable about wines, their tours provided more information I had never considered and now more appreciative of the wines from the region. Sue and Vince's hospitality is of a high caliber, they also put on lunch of my dreams, baguette, paté campagne, local cheeses and a nice glass of wine. I plan to go back in the spring of 2020 with my son and his wife to book more tours with Sue and Vince. The bottom line is, you will not find a better wine touring company in the Bergerac area than the Dordogne Vineyard Tours Vineyard Tours.

Superb tour with knowledgable hosts and varied wines to sample Sue and Vince, we can’t thank you enough for being so flexible, easy to communicate with and for your generous hospitality. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our day and learnt so much about the area, the regions wines and much more. The knowledge shared by Vince and the warm welcome we received at each of the three chateaux has left us with a real thirst to learn more and will enable us to be more selective about the wines we buy at home in the future, knowing which grapes we favour. Thank you again.
