Tour Overview
Discover the wonders of the Loire Valley, its splendid Renaissance Castles and delicious wines with this full-day wine tour.
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Paris and travel with your knowledgeable guide towards the Chambord Castle. On the way, bite into flaky croissants while hearing about the winemaking region of Loire and its heritage.
Arrive at the Château de Chambord and enjoy an audioguided tour. Learn the secrets behind this magnificent Castle, constructed by King Francis I of France in the early 16th Century.
Your guide will then drive you along the river, where you will be able to catch a glimpse on other beautiful Châteaux such as the castle of Amboise (Leonardo da Vinci’s last home) and the castle of Blois.
Next, pass through the vineyards of Touraine, Vouvray and Montlouis sur Loire. Admire the colorful landscapes of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc grapes.
Visit a family-run Vouvray wine estate, where you’ll meet the winemaker and enjoy a wine and traditional food pairing meal.
After lunch, discover another family-run winery and depending on availability, taste sparkling white wines, dry and sweet white wines, red and rosé wines. Here, you’ll get to taste authentic Loire Valley wines largely unavailable in the rest of the world.
