Set out from Tours on a half-day small group wine experience dedicated to the celebrated Vouvray appellation. Traveling with a knowledgeable local guide, the journey leads just beyond the city into gently rolling vineyards along the Loire River, where Chenin Blanc thrives in limestone-rich soils.

The experience includes visits to two carefully selected Vouvray wineries. At each stop, participants gain insight into local winemaking traditions, from vineyard practices to cellar techniques, while learning how terroir shapes the wide range of Vouvray styles. Tastings focus on Chenin Blanc wines, showcasing crisp dry expressions, subtly off-dry profiles, and, when available, the region’s distinctive sparkling wines.

Time is also spent meeting passionate winemakers who share their craft and stories, adding a personal dimension to each tasting. With small group pacing and scenic countryside views, this tour offers an engaging introduction to one of the Loire Valley’s most respected wine regions before returning to Tours.
