Dive into a unique universe where history, nature, and heritage blend harmoniously against a backdrop of rolling hills and endless vineyards.
✨ A Journey Through Time:

In La Réole, designated as a City of Art and History, journey through time: from its Benedictine priory to contemporary developments, including the Château des Quatre Sos and the medieval town hall.
🍃 Nature and Culture:
Embark on a hike between Verdelais and Saint-Maixant: a nearly thousand-year-old pilgrimage to the basilica, a monumental Way of the Cross, breathtaking views from Mount Cussol, and the unmissable Malagar, the former home of François Mauriac nestled among vineyards.
Marvel at unique curiosities like the fossilized oyster cliff in Sainte-Croix-du-Mont or discover Castelmoron-d’Albret, the smallest commune in France, rich in history.
🛕 Romanesque Art and Beyond:
Visit the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure, a masterpiece of Romanesque art with intricately carved capitals, or explore France’s smallest prison located in the same village.
🍷 Delicacies and Exceptional Wines:
Savor the delicious wines of Cadillac, Loupiac, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, and Saint-Macaire. From red and rosé to dry or sweet whites, there’s something for every palate! Don’t miss the surrounding wine estates for a memorable tasting experience.
Entre-Deux-Mers is an escape where every corner unveils an unexpected treasure. Get ready to be amazed!
