  • In all circuits, you will get to visit one or 2 of the Loire famous Castles. For instance, it may be Cheverny and Chambord castles. 
  • For lunch, you will enjoy a great picnic, in the shade of a big tree with a bottle of local wine (of course).

 

Visit of a winery in the Loire Valley

  • In the afternoon, you will visit a wine maker who will explain you everything from the vine growing to the bottle. After visiting the estate, you will taste the wines – together with some local snacking.

Just finished an amazing trip to Normandy and was delighted by all the accommodations, private tours and cooking class with Brigitte. All the details they put together allowed us to relax and enjoy. I highly recommend them.
