Overview

Join us on a wonderful afternoon wine tour starting from Tours or Amboise, and discover the local wines of the Touraine region.
As a small group of up to 8 people, you'll visit two wine estates in the Touraine "appellation" area with your local expert guide.
We will take you through the vineyards and the wineries, providing insights into the 'terroir' and the art of winemaking. You'll have the chance to taste a large variety of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines from the region, made with many grape varieties (Chenin, Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet, Gamay,…), accompanied by cheeses and charcuterie specialties from the region (rillettes, rillons, …)
Throughout the transfers between locations, you'll have the opportunity to admire the beautiful Loire landscapes through the windows of our comfortable chauffeured Mercedes minivan.
