Sip and savor the flavors of the Loire Valley on a small group wine tour from Tours, designed for an intimate introduction to the region's celebrated vineyards. Traveling with a knowledgeable local guide, participants journey into two renowned wine areas, Bourgueil and Chinon, known for producing expressive red, white, and sparkling wines.

The day begins among the vineyards of Bourgueil, where a visit to a family-run winery reveals how local soils and traditions shape each vintage. A guided tasting highlights the fresh, fruit-forward character that defines these wines. The experience continues in the historic town of Chinon, where medieval streets and riverside scenery set the stage for free time and lunch at a local restaurant, at own expense.

In the afternoon, the focus returns to wine with a tasting at a Chinon estate, offering deeper insight into Cabernet Franc and regional winemaking styles. Scenic countryside views and small group pacing make this a relaxed and rewarding Loire Valley experience.
