Touring the Loire and wine tasting
As you follow the river, it will take you through the vineyards and will introduce you to a terrain rich in artistic and literary heritage, as well as royal residences, and the cradle of the Renaissance. The range of itineraries that we have selected for you will take you on a journey during which you’ll taste distinguished, characterful grape varieties including cabernet franc for red wines and Bourgueil, Chinon, St Nicolas de Bourgueil and, particularly the Loire Valle’s star grape, chenin blanc, for white wines, creating dry wines as well as sumptuous sweeter wines including Vouvray and Montlouis. Gamay for red wines, and Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pineau d'Aunis, Pinot noir, and Chardonnay are just some of the varieties that are grown here to produce young, light wines as well as other wines that are richer in tannins and designed to be kept and savoured.

The wine-growing region of the Loire Valley is vast, with a number of different wine trails to follow.
