Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its landscapes and chateaux, the Loire Valley has a unique lifestyle and world-famous vineyards. The Loire is the longest river in France and vineyards stretch along 550 kms of it. It’s the 3rd biggest AC area in France and produces every style of wine – Sparkling, Dry Whites, Rose, Reds and Dessert Wines – so is a treasure trove for wine lovers. It’s particularly well-known for Chenin Blanc which comes in a range of styles. This tour will focus on the central part of the Loire and the regions of Touraine and Anjou-Saumur. The region is famous for its grand Chateaux and we hope to visit one of these.
