Wine, Food & Cuisine Tours of France
With a Wine, Food & Cuisine Tours of France we recommend planning. It is wonderful to discover hidden gems of vineyards and wineries that offer superb products
but often hours and even days can be spent just trying to find places that are open and offering wine tastings.
Local tourist information offices are a good source of on the spot planning and local wine advice. Area and regional caves can provide a very good overview especially for those with limited time.
Typical would be La Cave de Monbazillac situated out of Bergerac. This modern co-operative building not only offers an extensive range of regional wines from a number of producers but also features regional cuisine and runs informative videos.
With this information you can quickly focus your winery visits. |
