Stands from wine estates and vinyards from Bordeaux, Bergerac and even further afield, where wines may be tasted and purchased. A live band, aptly named, 'In Vino Veritas' will provide music on the evening -- to enjoy -- or to dance by, should you like to join in the fun! Home cured ham and chips and sangria available (bring own crockery and cutlery), and there will even be a fashion show put on by local boutiques. Free entry.

Saturday 11 August to Sunday 12 August:
Another Wine and Local Produce Fair put on next to the basin under the trees. Here the Lions Club of Périgord invite you to come taste any of the 50 "appellations" -- estate wines of the Périgord. A wonderful opportunity to discover the excellent wines of this region.

Sunday 19 August: Medieval Feast. Lalinde -- the village and its inhabitants, will dress up in medieval finery, and turn the clock back to 1267 when the bastide was built. There will be professional groups acting out scenes of sword fights, street theatre, hunters on horseback, soldiers marching through, ancient games and music. Note 19 August in your diary now and make sure you are here on this weekend!
