Discover Castelnau-sur-Gupie

Castelnau-sur-Gupie offers several starting points for planning a trip: an 11th-century church, a walking trail through vineyards and forests, and attractions related to plants, winegrowing, goat’s milk products, and mini golf. You can therefore consider culture, hiking, an interest in nature, and regional products as different focuses for your stay. An appointment is required for the church, nursery, and winery.

Church and history

The Eglise de Castelnau-sur-Gupie dates from the 11th century and houses paintings by the artist Giovanni Masutti. Visits are free, but possible by appointment only. Arrange your visit in advance and confirm it before you arrive. A visit brings together two distinct interests: the history of the church building and the paintings.

Hiking and plants

The “Castelnau-sur-Gupie, dans les coteaux de Garonne” walking trail passes through vineyards and forests. If you enjoy hiking, this gives you a specific route to choose from, with scenery that differs from the cultural experience of visiting the church. One option is to plan a walk through two types of landscape; the other is a visit connected with history and painting.

SCEA Cédric Carnivores is a nursery with collections of carnivorous plants. Sarracenia account for 60 percent of the collection; this proportion may change as the collection develops. Visitors are welcomed from March to October by appointment. When planning, take into account both the seasonal period and the need to book in advance; the time of year alone does not replace an arranged appointment.

Winegrowing and regional products

Clos Cavenac is a 10-hectare family winery in the communes of Lagupie and Castelnau-sur-Gupie. Its terroir is planted with six grape varieties from the AOC Côtes du Marmandais. Visits are free every day by appointment. Arrange your visit in advance and confirm it for your chosen day: the daily availability refers to visits by appointment.

La Chèvrerie des Sources 47 sells goat cheese and raw goat’s milk products in Castelnau-sur-Gupie. This provides a specific product category alongside the winegrowing at Clos Cavenac: here, products made from goat’s milk; at the winery, grape varieties from the AOC Côtes du Marmandais. If you want to include regional foods in your travel plans, you can distinguish between these options according to your product interests.

Mini golf and planning your visit

Melly Golf offers mini golf in Castelnau-sur-Gupie. Visitors can spot farm animals along the course; there is also a snack bar serving a set menu at lunchtime. These are two aspects of the same place to consider when planning your day: mini golf as an activity and a lunch option. Check the opening details and snack bar offer before you arrive, as this information may change.
