As a small group of a maximum of 8 people, you'll explore three wine estates with your local expert guide and have the opportunity to taste a variety of wines from the region.

After leaving Tours, we'll head towards the Vouvray area, to visit a first wine estate. There, we'll take a stroll through the vineyards while your guide shares insights into the geography, soil composition, terroir, and wine making process. You'll have the chance to visit the incredible wine cellar, carved directly into the tuffeau stone. During the visit, you'll taste a selection of typical Vouvray wines, including dry, semi-dry, and sparkling varieties, paired with local cheeses.

Afterwards, we'll head over to a family-owned Château wine estate in the Bourgueil region. You'll get to tour the vineyards and winery, and you will enjoy another wine tasting session, featuring a range of red and white wines sourced from various terroirs.

Following that, you'll enjoy lunch at the same Bourgueil wine estate, indulging in a delightful “Gastronomic Picnic with a stunning view of the surrounding vines. You'll appreciate the chef's commitment to using locally-sourced ingredients, embracing a “zero-kilometer” philosophy.

Then, we’ll make our way to one last wine estate within the Chinon “appellation” area. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore an organic vineyard, along with the unique cellar painstakingly dug by the winemaker over three decades. You'll be treated to an extensive tasting of their organic red wines, perfectly paired with local charcuteries.

Ultimately, you will have the occasion to enjoy some free time to wander around the quaint city of Chinon.

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.

At around 6:30 pm, your guide will return you to Tours.
