The beautiful village of Le Thoureil is a 15 minute walk from us here at le tasting room. It’s always calm and serene whatever the weather, whatever the time of year. We always drive through the village on our way back from the station in Angers after collecting clients who have come down from Paris for a wine tasting day trip.

New Cafe opens today in Le Thoureil
Great news – the riverside café in Le Thoureil opposite the church has reopened today under new ownership. It’s been completely refurbished and will be open more often which is great for us as the previous owners only seemed to open at weekends (if they felt like it). This spot is right on the riverside and is hard to beat.
