    • BRASSERIE DE L'UNION (BU): CRAFT BREWERY, BAR AND OPEN-AIR CAFE IN VÉZAC

      A place for living, beer and events in the heart of the Périgord Noir

      Located in Vézac, at the foot of the castle of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, the Brasserie de l'Union (BU) is much more than a craft brewery.
      It is an essential place to live in the Périgord Noir, where craft beer creates a link between tourism, heritage, gastronomy and festive events.

      Located a stone's throw from Sarlat-la-Canéda, surrounded by the most beautiful castles in the Dordogne Valley, BU welcomes visitors, locals and epicureans all year round in a friendly, local and relaxed atmosphere, between bar, terrace and guinguette spirit.

      A local craft brewery, combining expertise and Périgord identity

      At Brasserie de l'Union, each beer is brewed on site in Vézac, with the desire to tell the story of the territory through the glass.
      The recipes are inspired by both the great styles of craft beer and the soul of the Périgord Noir, its landscapes, its history and its way of life.

      BU offers a dynamic and evolving range:

      • Fresh and affordable beers for summer days at the open-air café.
      • More intense beers to accompany evenings and events,
      • ephemeral creations linked to the seasons, encounters and highlights of the brewery.

      Beer here becomes a cultural product, a pretext for sharing and discovering the territory.

      Brewery tours and tastings: an unmissable stop near Sarlat

      A visit to the Brasserie de l'Union is a unique experience for visitors to the Périgord Noir.
      Open to both the curious and the passionate, it allows you to discover the behind-the-scenes of artisanal brewing, the raw materials and the secrets of production.

      The visits are extended with tastings of local beers, ideal after a day of visiting Sarlat, the castle of Castelnaud or during an excursion along the Dordogne.
      BU is thus fully integrated into beer tourism, in direct connection with the major tourist circuits of the region.

      A lively bar and outdoor café with events all year round

      Brasserie de l'Union is also a free-spirited and festive open-air bar, with a large outdoor terrace nestled in an exceptional setting, between cliffs and castles.

      Throughout the year, BU offers a varied program of events, making the brewery an essential gathering place in Vézac:

      • concerts and shows,
      • themed evenings and beer-related events,
      • gourmet markets and summer gatherings in a festive, open-air café style,
      • private and professional events
      • weddings, receptions and post-party drinks in a unique setting.

      The brewery is perfectly suited for organizing weddings in Dordogne, offering an authentic, friendly and original setting, where craft beer accompanies the highlights of life.

      Beer as a link between Sarlat, the castles and the art of living in the Dordogne

      Just a few minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, the Brasserie de l'Union fits naturally into an iconic tourist route of the Périgord Noir.
      After a visit to the medieval streets of Sarlat or the local market, BU becomes an ideal stop to relax over a local beer.

      The brewery is surrounded by major landmarks:

      • Castelnaud Castle, a symbol of medieval history,
      • Beynac Castle, overlooking the valley,
      • The Château des Milandes, former home of Josephine Baker, an emblematic figure of freedom and modernity,
      • the hanging gardens of Marqueyssac, offering exceptional panoramas.

      In this territory steeped in history, craft beer acts as a link between heritage, culture, tourism and moments of conviviality.

      Discover the points of interest around the Brasserie de l'Union in Vézac

      Around the BU Brewery, Vézac is an ideal starting point for exploring the Périgord Noir.
      Visitors can alternate between castle visits, walks in listed villages like La Roque-Gageac or Domme, outdoor activities and refreshing breaks at the brewery.

      The nearby Dordogne River invites you to canoe, hike or cycle, while the markets of Sarlat and local producers complete this gourmet immersion.

      The Brasserie de l'Union thus establishes itself as a central place where tourism, open-air cafes, events, weddings and craft beer intersect, a place where people come to discover the territory… and where they stay to share.

    Superbe expérience dans ce bar où l’ambiance est à la fois originale et chaleureuse. Nous étions installés dans une salle conviviale qui donne immédiatement envie de s’y attarder. Alexandre nous a régalés avec des cocktails créés spécialement pour nous, aussi délicieux qu’inventifs. Mention spéciale pour sa gentillesse et son sens du détail ! Quentin, quant à lui, nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de convivialité : feu de poêle allumé, attentions régulières, toujours le mot chaleureux pour s’assurer que tout se passe bien. Cerise sur le gâteau, nous avons même pu mettre notre musique sur l’enceinte, ce qui a rendu le moment encore plus agréable. Et pour ne rien gâcher, la bière maison est un vrai régal : fraîche, savoureuse, avec ce petit caractère artisanal qu’on adore. Merci à l’artisan ! Un endroit où l’on se sent vraiment bien et où l’on a envie de revenir. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Bisous de La Rochelle !
