A Historical Vineyard
CELLAR VISITS & TASTINGS
Wine and vines represent the historical and cultural roots of Saumur - since Gallo-Roman times - and the region's cultural roots. This culture of "good living" has developed over time and has given the banks of the Loire this attractive aspect. The wine-growing regions of the Loire Valley are famous for their unique terroirs, which distinguish their Saumur wines under the "appellation d'origine contrôlée" (AOC), a testimony to quality and know-how. The vineyards of Anjou, Saumur and Touraine are renowned throughout the world and include 51 appellations of white, rosé and red wines.
We are of course at your entire disposal to help you organise your visits to the region's winegrowers and wine merchants, whose quality and number will satisfy you in the search for the best for your greatest pleasure.
