We had a great private tour with Alicia. We visited a vineyard and wine cave where we got to taste 8 varieties of Chenin Blanc with cheese pairings. Then we went to a second co-op wine cave where we tasted other local varieties with charcuterie pairings. Overall a great way to spend a half day if you’re in the area and want to learn more about wine.

This was an absolutely fabulous tour with a knowledgeable guide who taught us so much about wine-making in the Loire Valley. We first went to a vineyard and learned about the soil and grape cultivation. Then went to a small wine cellar (Vouvray) where we got to walk around the caves and learn from the guide about wine processing but also got to taste wines prepared differently with the same grape but processed differently. Amazing to taste the differences! This was an eye opener for the neophyte! The range of cheeses set out to accompany the wine tastings formed a nice pairing and were delicious, too! Back in the van, we headed to the next stop, a larger operation but with similar delicious tastings! We so enjoyed the guide's presentation and the opportunity to learn about wine production in the Loire Valley.
