Loire Valley Wine Tour
Description
Join us on an engaging excursion from Tours as we explore the expansive vineyards of Vouvray, a premier wine region located in the heart of the Loire Valley, ideal for enthusiasts of exquisite French wines.
Tour Details
Gather at the Tours Tourist Office at the designated time and board a minibus that will take you towards Vouvray. This picturesque area is renowned as one of the most significant wine-producing regions along the banks of the Loire River.
Our journey will include a visit to a family-owned winery, where you will get to see the traditional vat room before descending into the historic underground cellars. Originally excavated in the 10th century for stone extraction, these tunnels now serve as excellent cellars for the production and aging of fine wines. Here, you will gain insights into the entire winemaking process and participate in a wine tasting session to enhance your appreciation of the craft.
The adventure continues in the Amboise region, where another tasting experience awaits. You will explore the wide array of wines crafted in this sector of the valley, including whites, rosés, reds, and sparkling varieties. Each wine has a unique character and narrative. As we journey through the tour, you will receive valuable information that will deepen your understanding of the terroir's richness and the diverse offerings of Loire Valley wines.
