JOINS! Glamping Aquitaine

If you’re into fine wines, you’ve certainly come to the right region; immediately to the west of the glampsite are the vineyards of Bergerac, with many stellar names such as Château de Tiregand (10 minutes’ drive) and Château de Monbazillac (20 minutes) open for tours of their vines and cellars as well as tastings. Head a little further west and you’ll hit the grand cru wine châteaux of Bordeaux in the areas around Saint-Émilion and Pomérol (both an hour and 15 minutes). To find out more about the region’s wines, hit the Maison des Vins in Bergerac (20 minutes), where you can also meander along the bank of the famed Dordogne River, admire the half-timbered house along Rue St-Clar and grab coffee in one of pretty Place Pélissière’s pavement cafés. More lovely spots along the route of the Dordogne include Sarlat (an hour and 10 minutes), with its carefully restored medieval heart, and Beynac (55 minutes), which has a dramatic setting creeping up the cliffside. The imposing Château de Beynac sits on a rocky promontory above the village and is open for tours of stables, courtyards and sumptuous interiors.
