Wine and food are a major preoccupation here and there are numerous vineyards to visit and sample the wine, ranging from small family owned vineyards, where you can taste and buy some surprisingly good wines, to huge estates in the Sauternes, Médoc, Graves, Entre Deux Mer and Blaye areas. Everywhere is within reach if you are prepared to travel a little. St Emilion not only produces fine wines but is in itself, a pretty village built on a small hill overlooking the river and pleasant to wander around through the steep, narrow, cobbled streets and perhaps visit the wine museum or linger over lunch. Visits to the vineyards surrounding the town can be arranged from there.

A quiet country lane leads to the house from Lavagnac. No 18 is on the right hand side through large gates where you will find ample parking under the shade of the trees. We have three en suite bed and breakfast rooms and a large breakfast room with a kitchen corner equipped with a hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and coffee maker for anyone who wishes to make snacks, picnics or children's meals. There is also a lounge area with a couple of easy chairs, television and DVD and a drawer full of games for the children. Dinner is available on request.
