    This B&B was exactly what we hoped for. We were in a beautiful location, able to relax, enjoy a working winery and be a part of the family.

    Fantastic place at, literally, the end of the road! Nice garden with live music in the evening. Many locals came for the music and to eat. Spacious room with high ceilings and sky light. Breakfast in the old dining room with chateau feeling.

Company info

If we have the taste for contacts and meetings, we are also winemakers engaged in a viticulture that makes sense, Organic and Bio-dynamically. We settled in 2006 after a long stay in Asia. A magical place that seduced us, by its environment (the Dordogne), the architecture (the Chapel) and the quality of the terroir (for the quality of the wines).
