A fantastic experience, excellent wines, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended.
We visited Château de Panisseau yesterday and had a truly wonderful experience. The tour was both informative and engaging, providing a fascinating insight into the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle. Our host was exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything clearly in English, which made the experience even more enjoyable and accessible.
The wine tasting was a real highlight. The wines were excellent, showcasing the quality and character of the estate, and we were delighted to purchase several bottles to take home with us.
What impressed us even further was learning about the exciting vision for the future of the château. The ongoing restoration project is clearly being undertaken with great passion and care, and it was inspiring to hear about the development of the venue for weddings and special events. The gîte accommodation also looked charming and would make a fantastic base for exploring the region.
This was much more than a wine tasting—it was a warm, personal, and memorable experience hosted by people who genuinely care about sharing their passion for wine and the château. We would highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area and would happily return in the future.

Amazing tour and great value
We had a lovely time visiting Château de Panisseau and thought the experience provided was excellent. We were able to visit the vineyard even though it was raining on the day and were offered an umbrella to stay dry. The wine we tried tasted great and we ended up buying a couple bottles. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in the Bergerac area!
