To the health of the Loire - We had some doubts, arriving from our Franciacorta.
Instead, I was positively surprised by the presentation, the location and obviously by the excellent tasting.
Our guide is very competent, friendly and kind.
Don't miss the opportunity, in addition to the castles, to taste the fruits (wine) of this land.
We recommend it.

Educational and delicious - Excellent cave tour and wine tasting experience! We made a reservation for a Sunday afternoon. This may have been the only winery open on a Sunday. We had the ability to also purchase the wine, cheese and meat that paired perfectly!
