Loire Valley wine tour with tastings in Chinon and Bourgueil vineyards

Enjoy a full-day small-group wine experience from Tours and uncover the renowned vineyards of the Loire Valley. Meet your English-speaking local guide, an expert in Loire wines, and travel in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan to the heart of the Bourgueil and Chinon wine regions.

During the afternoon, head to a second winery in the Chinon appellation. Meet passionate winemakers and sample distinctive Loire Valley wines whilst taking in beautiful vineyard vistas. You'll return following a day that blends history, scenery, and exceptional wines.
