Description

Do you know how to make a sweet wine, or a rosé and a red wine? What about sparkling wines?... This complete wine experience at the heart of a family winery - a guided tour run by Myriam, a wine professional and the wife of the owner and winemaker - will allow you to discover the whole wine-making process, from grape to wine.

This 3-hour tour begins with a guided walk in the vineyard of Vouvray, to learn about 'AOCs' (Denominations of Origin) in general and this area of production in particular, about vine-growing and the vinegrower's work in the vines during the year. This is where everything starts - no good wine can be made without growing quality grapes in the first place!

We will then tour the family-owned winery and the rock-hewn cellar to learn about wine-making, ageing and the traditional method, which is the process we use to make sparkling wines. Depending on the date of the tour, you may be able to see wine-bottling, disgorgement, labelling or even machine or hand harvest...!

We will finish the tour with a tutored tasting of 6 Vouvray/Touraine/Loire wines served with local finger food to learn about food and wine pairing.

This wine tour is adapted to both beginners or wine amateurs. We will adapt our speech to everyone's knowledge about wine.

Expérience très intéressante et plaisante. Beaucoup de connaissances transmises sur la vigne, le vin et le travail complexe du vigneron. La dégustation est vraiment excellente avec toute la gamme des crus du vignoble accompagnés d'un d'un plateau de spécialités gastronomiques locales. Un moment très agréable avec une personne charmante et cultivée qui ne ménage pas son temps.
