Maison des Vins (Wine Centre) & Cloitre des Recollets, Bergerac

The wine centre is the place to help you discover the vineyards of Bergerac

featured in Sights & sites

The Wine Centre (Maison des Vins) is right in the historic heart of Bergerac, in the Récollets Cloisters, a magnificent group of monastic buildings from the 17th-century.

At the Wine Centre you will find all the information you need to explore our vineyards and meet our vintners. A team of professionals is at your disposal to help you plan an unforgettable trip, with exactly what you want from the Bergerac vineyards.

You will also find:

  • An exhibition: “Wine is a journey” which is a fabulous place to start your tour of the Bergerac vineyards. There is an historical fresco from the tertiary era to the present day, the film “Wine is a Journey” and a “senses room”.
  • A wine library or vinothèque where you will find a selection of wines from the Wine Route. You can taste and buy wine and there are lots of wine accessories in our World of Wine store. A games and sensory discovery area is also available for our younger visitors.

Each day from mid-June to mid-September a winemaker will be present to share his profession, his wines and his passion! It’s a great introduction before you head off to visit the vines, cellars and people working in the vineyards.
