The vineyards of Bergerac produce both red and white wines which are generally better value than those of the more prestigious Bordeaux nearby. It is worth trying the sweet Monbazillac white wine, which is often served with foie gras, and the less sweet Saussignac white. The red wines are mostly sold as Bergerac or Côtes du Bergerac, and another strong red is Pécharmant. When eating out it is a good idea to order the local house wine (vin de table), which is usually served in a jug.

Regional food and wine can always be found in the many local markets which are held once or twice a week and are great fun to wander around. In addition, there are special foires or food festivals at different times of the year, and some of those worth seeking out are at Sarlat, which has a Truffle Festival in January and a Goose Fair in March; Rocamadour, which has a Cheese Festival at Whitsun; and Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, which has a Strawberry Festival in May. Weekly market days are listed in Appendix B.
