Loire Wine Tours & Tastings 

Interested in wine? Whether you are here on holiday, a resident in France, a complete beginner or a dedicated oenophile, we have something to offer.

Based between Angers and Saumur in the Loire valley, le tasting room is a small French business run by Cathy & Nigel Henton. We have 25 years experience in the wine trade between us and run wine tastings, courses and Loire wine tours, working with a wide range of producers from all over the region. We operate regular tours and tastings all year round.

Travelling from Paris? The TGV offers an excellent service. What's more, we'll collect you and deliver you back to the station in Angers or Saumur.

So, if you're like us and appreciate fine wine, good food and great company, we'd love to welcome you here, just a stone's throw from the river Loire.
