Day 3: Chinon - Bourgueil - Azay-le-Rideau - Amboise
Full Day Private Wine Tour to Chinon, Bourgueil and Azay le Rideau
With the Loire River, north meets south in this part of France and the region offers freshness and roundness as tradition and modernity. Thanks to the mild climate and all the different “terroirs,” there is a wonderful diversity of wines: 50 appellations and PDO for 70,000 hectares of vineyards.
You will find a large choice among the delicious rosés (refreshing, fruity, and delicate), the easy-drinking or complex reds, and the whites ranging from dry to sweet. And of course, the wonderful sparkling wines that are produced with the same method as Champagne. They are all perfect for food pairing and have specificity because most are made with a single grape variety.
The Loire Valley wine production is made with 11 different types of grapes (Cabernet franc, Chenin blanc, Sauvignon, Malbec or Côt, Gamay…) and the winemakers will be happy and proud to welcome you to share their passion. Enjoy a unique experience in the heart of outstanding landscapes or in spectacular troglodyte cellars
