I pick you up directly from your accommodation before we head to a family‑run winery.  There, you’ll explore the vineyards, learn about the region’s historic Malbec grape, and enjoy a guided tasting of emblematic wines.  You’ll meet the winemaker, gain insight into the traditions that shape Cahors’ wine heritage, and understand why Cahors is known as the birthplace of Malbec.

The Cahors appellation is known for its Malbec wines and long winemaking tradition.

After lunch, we explore one of the region’s most remarkable sites. A favourite stop is a medieval village perched high above the Lot River and officially recognised as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Its narrow lanes, stone houses, and breathtaking views offer a glimpse into centuries of history.
