Description

After leaving Tours or Amboise, we'll proceed to our first vineyard. Your guide will take you on a tour of the estate, providing insights into the geography, terroir, and the art of winemaking. He will then take you to the modern winery and will give you explanations about the wine making process. After the tour, you will enjoy a nice tasting of typical white, red and rosé wines from Touraine, made with many grape varieties (Chenin, Malbec, Cabernet, Gamay, Grolleau,…), paired with local cheeses.

We will then head toward a second Touraine wine estate, where you’ll also have the opportunity to stroll the vineyard and get deeper into wine knowledge. There, you will get to taste another bunch of local wines, accompanied by charcuterie specialties from the region (rillettes, rillons, …).
