Wine tasting – hundreds of local vineyards as well as the more famous area of St Emilion just 40 minutes away - guided tours of local vineyards available. There are at least four vineyards within a 15 minute walk of the property.


The Bastides – centuries-old towns with arched central squares. The nearest are Eymet, Ste Foy la Grande and Monségur.
 
The Dordogne and its châteaux at Beynac, Biron, amongst others.

Markets – including the favourite on Sunday morning at Issigeac. A perfect mix of wine, fruit, vegetables and local produce, a bit of bric-a-brac and other delights within the beautiful mediaeval town.
 
Producers' Markets - Sunday mornings under the lime trees in Soumensac!  From early July until the end of August join the locals for lunch at long trestle tables with a view  to the Pyrenees to die for.  Stall holders from the area with wine, duck, salads, frites, raspberries - even snails.  Unforgettable!
