Château Tournefeuille
The place called Tournefeuille appears for the first time in 1783 in the famous map of Guyenne, established by the historian Belleyme. In 1998, the Sautarel family, owners since the 1930s, handed over responsibility for this great terroir to the Petit and Cambier families. Since 2014, the Petit family has been working to reveal the terroir of Château Tournefeuille and to modernize and renew the infrastructure. From 2011, the Château also welcomes visitors in authentic and warm guest rooms.
