Loire Valley
Located on the Loire River, this area of striking natural beauty is regarded as the ‘Garden of France’ thanks to its rolling vineyards and fruit orchards.
At the meeting point of northern and southern France you will find the Loire Valley. Imagine nearly 620 square miles of unblemished landscape, dotted with quintessential French chateaux and historic towns, such as Amboise, Orléans, Blois, Tours, and Angers. In recognition of its un-spoilt beauty, UNESCO added the Loire Valley to its list of world heritage sites in 2000. The entire region is recognized for its fresh produce, like artichokes and asparagus, as well as its cavegrown mushrooms, fruit orchards and vineyards.
After days spent exploring architectural treasures and following in the footsteps of ancient kings and queens, you will be introduced to the Loire Valley’s diverse winemaking traditions and meet the current generation of winemakers preserving the skills of their forefathers. Your evenings will delve into the art of food and wine pairings, guided by expert sommeliers and local producers.
