Welcome to Château de Monbazillac

Discover the art of living in Périgord!

Overlooking the Dordogne valley, 10 minutes from Bergerac, the Castle of Monbazillac invites you to discover its new tour route.

The 16th-century château, listed as a historic monument, combines the past with modernity in its tours, thanks to new technologies. The tour is dynamic, collaborative, immersive and fun, thanks to videos, audios, light shows, puzzles, mapping and animations.
Stroll through the exhibits, taste the wines of Monbazillac and be surprised, amazed and seduced! An unforgettable journey awaits you.

The château offers a free, immersive tour of the world's largest sweet wine vineyard. Discover all the facets of Monbazillac: its age-old know-how, its history, in an immersive and entertaining museum.

Then the tour continues through the château, taking you back in time to meet history! The Wars of Religion and their resounding impact on the wine trade, the life of the de Bacalan family in the face of the worries of the French Revolution - the château will hold no more secrets for you!

Bring the whole family and play together to discover the lost recipe for grape juice.

Leaving the Château, the park is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll.

Between a sea of vines and an exceptional panorama of the Bergerac valley, the park offers a calm and peaceful environment that invites contemplation. It's time to live in the present, to slow down, to stop for a bite to eat under the foliage of the restaurant's terrace, to dream on the deckchairs provided, to allow photography enthusiasts to indulge their art in front of a dazzling panorama.

The château is not only a tourist attraction, but also an invitation to discover the art of living and the art of being in Périgord.

To complete this experience, let your senses do the talking with a commented tasting of 3 wines: the color of the robe, the subtle aromas, the fruity, floral or woody notes will no longer hold any secrets for you!
