The Grape Escape, our well-equipped 4-person gite (self-catering holiday house) is surrounded by organic vineyards and offers fabulous views across the Dordogne valley. It is semi-detached from the main farmhouse facing onto the courtyard on one side and onto the vines on the two sides built out over the vineyard (scroll to the bottom for a photo). As our guests, you are very welcome to spend time with us to learn about our wine and winemaking, taste our wines and perhaps even take part in vineyard or winery activity depending on the time of year and your energy! Have a look at the pics below and read more about the gite. Contact us by email or telephone for availability.

Terrace views. The grand room has five large double windows looking out over the vineyards and a forested valley. It accomodates a generous seating area furnished with comfortable sofa and chairs and a separate king-size (or single depending on the number of guests) bed. The second bedroom is furnished with two single beds (which can also be made up as a kingsize double bed) and a set of drawers. A very large bathroom (10m2 with bath, stand-alone shower, WC, basin and views) and a walk-in cupboard/ utility room complete the accomodation.	A paved and shaded terrace, furnished with garden table, chairs, sunloungers, umbrella and barbeque leads into a spacious french-country kitchen and living area fitted with modern cupboards, new appliances (dishwasher, large fridge-freezer, cooker, washing machine) breakfast nook and separate dining table. 'Loved the gite, the views, the location and of course, the wine!' Cathy & Tony, Ireland 'An absolutely wonderful stay - majestic views, a warm welcome and fantastic accomodation. We are looking forward to coming back!' Tim & Toni, South Africa
Trees of figs, cherries, apricots, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts are sprinkled around the property. Guests are welcome in season to pick the fruit - and some grapes too of course! Pleasant walks can be enjoyed around our 14-hectare estate and we are on one of the ‘grand randonnée’ routes of France for those seeking longer walks/hikes. Bird watching and deer-spotting are excellent particularly at dawn and dusk. Our small oak forest and picnic pasture provide great entertainment for young adventurers. We are close enough to Saussignac village for you to collect your baguette / croissants on the bike (2 available) or on foot each morning (less than 1km). There is also a wonderful restaurant in Saussignac - no driving required! Traditional french markets take place Saussignac village every Friday, and in nearby Gardonne (Sunday), St Foy La Grande and Bergerac (Saturday). The Dordogne is famous for its chateaux, fine food and wine. We are an easy 45 minute drive to St Émilion home of many Bordeaux grand crus and a great day out.
