Following significant renovation works, this wine-producing château, located 15 minutes from Bordeaux in the direction of Libourne, has four beautiful guest rooms decorated with a “family home” feel, they are spacious (between 30 and 70m2), equipped with private bathroom and WC, and digital flat screen televisions. They all overlook a park with a hundred-year old redwood against a backdrop of vines. The room prices include a visit to the wine and cask storehouses, and tasting two local wines. The château also offers an oenological workshop and guided tours, a golf and wine holiday or even a cycling tour, leaving from the château, for an alternative way to discover the vineyard.
Make your own wine If you want to be an œnologist for a day, after visiting the vineyard and storehouses, you can discover wine using your nose: by familiarising yourself with the typical aromas of a Bordeaux wine, by tasting the merlot and cabernet sauvignon grapes separately. Then, supplied with test tubes and pipettes, you can create a blend to your taste and leave with the bottle which you have created, branded with its personalised label. Rate: €55 / person for 4 to 12 people.
Test your swing on the two nearby courses If you like golf, the château can make reservations for you at two of the most beautiful courses in the region, less than 10 minutes from the estate. Bordeaux-Cameyrac golf course is a flat, exact and technical 18-hole course, with a border of vines and hundred-year old trees. You can enjoy a typical South West lunch on the club house’s terrace. Also available: 9 holes, tennis court, swimming pool, equestrian centre. www.golf-bordeaux-cameyrac.com
Teynac golf course is a rustic and authentic course. On the club house terrace, with a panoramic view over the course, you can taste homemade dishes. Special green fee for guests at the Château Lavergne Dulong. www.golf-teynac.com
Leaving the château on foot or by bike (mountain bike), there is a 6km route through the vines and the village of Montussan. Mountain bike rental on site: €15/bike ■ Contact www.chateau-lavergne-dulong.com 1
