The Experience

Caro and Seán are passionate about organic and biodynamic wine and they will immerse you in the intricate and fascinating world of growing, creating and understanding their crop. 

There are vast views over the vineyards, rolling hills and woodland from your cottage. Inside, you’ll find bright, open, eco-consciously converted spaces: a simple open-plan kitchen and living room, bare stone walls in the bedroom (with organic cotton sheets) and a contemporary en suite shower.

It’s a short walk to Saussignac for a café and restaurant; or spend your days cycling along the Grande Randonnée, strolling in the woods and vineyards, swimming in the saltwater pool and tasting the estate’s wine. There’s a barbeque and deckchairs on your wrap-around terrace – perfect for those warm, hazy evenings.

Reviews

A perfect place to immerse yourself in the world of biodynamic wines.
Inspected Helen Sawday's Inspector
Nigel, Buckinghamshire

Loved it. Hosts were welcoming and very kind. Really interesting to be on an organic vineyard. Thank you.

Jo, Near Banbury

Wonderful setting, so peaceful with great views of the surrounding vineyards. Made so welcome and very comfortable cottage. Caro is a marvellous host and her enthusiasm and knowledge of everything ‘wine’ is amazing! We very much enjoyed her wine tasting and learning about growing organic wine. We also enjoyed their wine, of course.

Trevor, Wicklow

The Wine Cottage is a lovely peaceful place to stay with beautiful views over the surrounding vineyard. The cottage itself is very comfortable, cool, and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the lightly shaded terrace which was very pleasant at all times of the day. We would recommend reading Caro’s excellent books which tell of the early struggles setting up the vineyard through to becoming leading lights of biodynamic wine production in France. Needless to say make sure you try their superb wines.

Location

The neighbourhood

Views are of vineyards and countryside. It’s rural here, yet you’re still within walking distance of Saussignac for a few places to eat and 1.5km in the opposite direction is a summer restaurant, The Bus Brothers. Cycle up to Gardonne (4km) for shops and a pizzeria (although it’s uphill on the way back) or head to Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (11 km) for the fabulous farmers' market on Saturday mornings.

Local points of interest from Caro & Seán Feely

  • Breakfast on the balcony taking in stunning views of organic vineyards and dreaming about what you are going to do today. Bird watch and deer-spot as you enjoy some of the best croissants in France from nearby Gardonne boulangerie.
  • Explore the local area on foot - delight in historic chateaux, charming villages and exceptional landscapes - depart on a vineyard path directly from Chateau Feely.
  • Read Caro's Grape Expectations, the first book in the Vineyard Series in a hamac under the trees (both houses have a selection of great holiday reads). Then take a delicious dip in the saltwater pool.
  • Explore old town and characterful market in Bergerac 20 minutes away or discover the wonders of a Unesco recognised Biosphere - the Dordogne River - by booking a kayak in Gardonne just 5 minutes away.
  • Evenings wind down with great wine and wide vineyard views — shoes off, shoulders relaxed. Birds calling across the valley and wine poured just metres from where it was made. Or stroll to Melange restaurant in Saussignac then enjoy a starlit walk home.
  • Develop your aroma brain on the discovery wine tour or stretch yourself with yoga in the vines both available right here on site at Chateau Feely. We look forward to sharing this magical place with you!

Introducing

Caro & Seán Feely

Enthusiastic and smiley Caro and Seán (originally from South Africa, and with Irish roots) live here with their two cats. They bought the vineyard in 2005 to follow their dream of creating great wines on fine terroir, and Caro, who does the meet and greet, has written five books on their experiences. She's happy to ferry guests to and from the station in Gardonne.
