Life's too short for average wine, so sample one or two of the delectable sorts available at Chateau de Montaigne. Stay a little longer and learn about winemaking, from harvesting and fermentation to the bottling of the product.
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne. Chateau de Montaigne is a good place to begin here, but there are plenty of other fine spots to appreciate. Lac de Gurson, Bessineau Vineyards, and Chateau Mangot are close to the wine-making establishment and will round out your day nicely.
