Our district is famous for its
wine and there are several different appellations, wine-growing
areas, and visiting and tasting the vignobles' produce
is a great pastime.
Also, apart from particularly famous or sought-after
areas, there are many bargains to be had! And a good bottle of
wine can cost as little as 3euros.
Also, important districts such as Pomerol and St.Emilion
are easy to get to.
