Loire Wine Discovery (1 day)

A fascinating insight into the wines and winemakers of the Loire. The day includes a comprehensive tasting and lunch in the comfort of our old winemaker's home followed by guided vineyard visits in the afternoon.

Make your way here for a 09h30 start with coffee and biscuits.

Enjoy a tutored tasting of 6 wines reflecting the diversity of this great winemaking region. We'll run through the basics of tasting technique, discuss the geography of the region and unravel the mysteries of French wine labelling in the relaxed environment of our tasting room.

You can then relax and enjoy a delicious home-made 3 course buffet lunch with wine in our old barrel maturation cellar beneath the house. Indulge in a selection of dishes creatively prepared using local ingredients sourced from our neighbouring potager, and herbs from our garden.

In the afternoon we'll drive to one of the many famous appellations and visit one or two wineries where you'll have the opportunity to taste a range of wines, stroll around the vineyards and buy wine at cellar door prices.

Price: 110€ per person (2 - 6 people). To include collection from and delivery back to Angers TGV 125€ per person.

'Without a doubt one of the best tasting and tours we've done anywhere.We enjoyed a unique selection of local wines, a delicious lunch in your underground cave and the afternoon visits to the vineyards in the nearby towns. And to anyone reading this, Nigel and Cathy really made this a fun and informative experience. Thanks again for one of the highlights of our stay in the Loire Valley.' -Amos & Nikki, New Zealand
