Château de Chillac

Château de Chillac is a castle featuring defensive architectural elements such as fortified walls and towers, situated on an estate of approximately 55 acres (22 hectares) with vineyards and woodlands. The property combines historic structures with agricultural lands that define its character.

Construction of the castle began in the fifteenth century, when the Charente region was experiencing significant expansion of fortified structures. The estate emerged during a period of active fortress building that shaped the local landscape.

The estate maintains a winemaking tradition rooted in the nineteenth century, producing organic and biodynamic wines in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Visitors can experience how the castle and its vineyards remain central to local agricultural practices today.

The castle offers stays in three four-star vacation rentals with private gardens and modern amenities on the historic grounds. Visitors should book in advance as accommodations are limited and popular, especially during warmer months.

The castle features a tasting room where visitors can sample wines produced by the family who has owned the estate for generations. These tastings offer a personal glimpse into the work and passion behind the winemaking on the property.
