Such a lovely place to stay, not only are the people lovely and the hours flexible, the nature and animals make this place incredibly calming. Helping out here really takes you away from the hustle and bustle of big cities and helps you to reflect and learn about living organically and help lovely Laura and the team around thethe guest house and the vineyards and other travellers staying. I recommend coming in September for an awesome experience of harvesting the grapes :)

This was an incredible experience I'll hold on to forever. It was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't imagine doing it anywhere else. Not only is the vineyard such a beautiful place to be able to stay, but Laura also made the experience even more perfect. She cares about each and every one of her volunteers, and because of that I'm leaving this place with a heart full of memories. I stayed here for 3 wonderful weeks, and my days working were set out clearly, and Laura is so flexible with your days off. I will always hold such love for this place🩷

My stay atthe guest house Cormeil-Figeac was so special. From day one, Laura and the team were amazingly welcoming and made me feel like part of the crew right away. I loved how every day had something different to offer - one day we were painting or cooking together, and the next we were out in the fields picking fruit and harvesting grapes. It was such a fun, hands-on way to experience vineyard life. During my free time, I loved relaxing by the vines, taking a swim, or hopping on a bike to explore Saint-Émilion. I'm leaving with so many great memories and 100% recommend this.

I was at Cormeil Figeac for two weeks and I had an incredible time! Laura herself was so open and welcoming, I felt right at home. She communicates her expectations to you well and wants you to do the same. She really is flexible, she wants you to enjoy your time there, as well as your time off. The regular work was pretty easy, and every now and then we would have something interesting sprinkled in there like picking berries or planning athe guest house event (so fun by the way). This was my first time volunteering and I genuinely don't think I could've chosen a better place! 100% recommend!!

By far my favorite Worldpackers experience! My partner and I stayed for a month and both agree this was a very special place. The environment is wonderful and very relaxing. Everyone that works in the winery is very friendly and welcoming. The work is chill and Laura is very kind and understanding host. We couldn't be more grateful to Cormeil-Figeac for giving us such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
