Book a Vineyard Picnic and Loire Wine Tasting in Chinon, Indre-et-Loire

Just 10 minutes from Chinon, stay at our family-run château in the Loire Valley and enjoy an immersive winery experience: a guided walk through our Cabernet Franc and Chenin blanc AOC CHINON vineyard, a visit to the cellar and a tasting in a historic tasting room that highlights the terroir of Indre-et-Loire. After the tasting you’ll be escorted to a private picnic spot where a beautifully dressed table overlooking the vines and one bottle await you, creating an intimate outdoor lunch for your group; in winter, the picnic moves to a vaulted indoor space warmed by cozy candles and sheepskins. This award-winning family operation offers an unforgettable Loire Valley visit that combines vineyards, history and relaxed dining, and while the tour and tasting may be joined with other groups, your picnic remains exclusively for you and your party.

Summary: Such a lovely vineyard and overall experience. We got to do wine tasting on numerous different types of wines after taking a look at the actual process of the wine making. Then we had a private picnic with local delicacies and a whole bottle of wine to share. The best part is that we Biscuits, the most lovely cat that lives on the property, following us around the whole adventure. Great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Summary: This tour was one of the absolute best experiences we had during our time in France. The host was personable and engaging. The group was small and felt very personal. The topics were fascinating and informative as well as personal. The wines were top notch! We were broken up from the group for the picnic and got to experience a fantastic meal with a beautiful view all to ourselves! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience a romantic getaway in the heart of one of France's most romantic regions!
