Charming Wine Estate with 14 Hectares of Vines in Production — Bergerac Region

Set amidst gently rolling countryside with sweeping panoramic views, this delightful wine estate offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational vineyard in the heart of the Dordogne. Combining the heritage of French winemaking with a serene rural lifestyle, the property lies in a peaceful yet easily accessible location close to Bergerac and Issigeac.

Extending over 17 hectares, the estate includes approximately 14 hectares of vines currently in production, divided between red and white grape varieties — Merlot, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon. The vineyard produces around 90,000 bottles of AOC Bergerac wine each year, regularly recognized with awards for quality. The vines, planted in the early 2000s, are in excellent condition, and the vineyard proudly holds a High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, attesting to its commitment to sustainable and responsible viticulture.

Currently operated with seasonal assistance, the estate is perfectly suited to a couple, family, or small professional team wishing to live and work on-site or continue with local management support.

At its heart stands a charming 18th-century stone farmhouse, rich in authentic character. It comprises a welcoming living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a WC. Some renovation would further enhance its comfort and charm. The adjoining pigeonnier, spread over two levels, offers additional space for storage or conversion into an office or studio.

The wine-making facilities are both spacious and modern, including a vinification chai, a barrel cellar, storage areas, and a sales room. All essential wine-making equipment is included in the sale (stock excluded), providing a turnkey operational opportunity.

Wines are currently sold through a cooperative, but the property presents significant potential for development — whether by relaunching a private label, expanding direct-to-consumer sales, or creating a boutique wine tourism experience. With an existing brand, modern facilities, and a strong foundation in place, this estate is ready for its next chapter.

The surrounding region, celebrated for its gastronomy, culture, and unspoiled landscapes, offers a relaxed lifestyle in an area popular with both visitors and residents. Bergerac International Airport is less than 20 km away, while the nearest village with shops, a bakery, supermarket, and doctors is only minutes from the property. The charming bastide town of Issigeac, famed for its Sunday market, is just a 10-minute drive.

Whether your dream is to craft your own wine, establish a boutique estate, or embrace the tranquility of vineyard life, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to do so in one of France’s most picturesque and historically rich wine regions.
