Days of the Terroir

The days of the terroir have conquered many Sarlada residents and visitors, if we are to believe the number of visitors observed each year. The heart of the city is entirely occupied by the producers of the region, driven by the same desire to discover the richness of Perigordine gastronomy: strawberries, walnuts, fat poultry, pigs, truffles, milk, honey, wine, jams… Tastings and entertainment (goose cutting, pressing walnut oil, jam preparation and many other skills) will also be offered.
