Château de Monbazillac
Monbazillac is a world famous wine, but it is also a 16th century castle, located in the heart of the vineyards on the hillside of the same name, overlooking the Dordogne valley and Bergerac below.
Built around 1550, the fortress is a subtle blend of feudal and Renaissance styles. La Cave de Monbazillac now owns it, it has deeply restored and landscaped it.
Visit this beautiful building, its dry moats, inside, the great room and its Renaissance fireplace, furniture and tapestries from Flanders, and upstairs the reconstructed bedroom of the Viscountess of Monbazillac.
Finally, make a stop before leaving in the enclosure of the castle to the Wine Museum where you will discover the best "bottles" of the vintage, as well as old instruments of wine making and grape harvest.
Open all year except January
