Pomport - among the vineyards of Bergerac
The old gated village of Pomport lies amidst the vineyards of the Bergerac wine region, on the old pilgrim trail to Santiago de Compostela. Pomport, often coupled with the neighbouring town of Sigoulès, is historic and peaceful, and offers great access to the major tourist attractions of this lovely area known as the Purple Perigord.

All about wine
Pomport offers basic village shops and amenities as well as a village bar and several good restaurants in the vicinity. The heart of the village is wine, and Pomport is not about to let you forget this, as everywhere you go in the locality you will find wine caves and vineyards, wine merchants and exhibitions. The Bergerac region is renowned for its excellent wines, and the name given to the region is the Purple Perigord, a direct reference to the purple grapes grown here in such profusion. The nearby town of Sigoulès offers further amenities with a selection of shops and even a pizzeria!

Relax at the lake
The lake that lies beside Pomport provides more than just a scenic beauty, it is a superb natural sports and leisure complex. There is something to suit all ages and tastes here, with safe swimming, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, slides for the kids and superb sandy man-made beaches for sunbathing in style! Pomport Lake also has a café where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a coffee or a glass of wine. Perfect for those long hot summer days that the Dordogne usually enjoys from May right through until October.
|
Gourmet treats
The region is proud of its rich gastronomy, and Pomport is well situated for enjoying this to the full, with a good complement of restaurants nearby. Local specialities to taste include a myriad of duck dishes, with nuts, mushrooms and truffles being especially prominent. If you prefer to prepare your own gourmet treats from fresh ingredients, the best place to go is the traditional street market that takes place at Pomport's sister village of Sigoulès.
