Just like every other French vineyard region, the Loire also has its own “Route des Vins”. You can cycle along the banks of the Val de Loire river that will lead you through the heart of noble, ancestral vineyards. Indeed, the vineyards of the Loire valley were created some 2000 years ago by the Romans. However, its rise in popularity can be attributed to Henri II Plantagenet, the Count of Anjou who became king of England in 1154 and served Anjou wines to the Court: a tradition still perpetuated today by his ancestors!
When the Kings of France decided to establish themselves in the Val de Loire, they also served and tasted the wines of Anjou and Touraine.
The Loire valley wine route is the longest in France and the vineyards of the Loire Valley make it France’s third largest winegrowing region. With more than 800km of paths, the Val of Loire offers eclectic wine and cycling experiences tailored to all tastes! Enjoy a tasting in the heart of a troglodyte cave, discover local specialities, picnic at a winemaker’s and admire street art in the middle of a wine cellar. Thanks to their dynamism, these wine tourism events have became a real tradition!
Every year, at the beginning of September, you can take part in the Vignes Vins Randos (Vines Wines, Hikes) event, which takes place around Nantes, Angers and Saumur. For three hours, you’ll wander through vineyards meeting passionate wine producers and locals in a friendly, musical atmosphere.
During your trip, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the wines of the region through vineyard tours and tastings in local wineries.
Book up to 2 tastings along your itinerary!
From 5€ to 13€ per person depending on the visit and the number of tasted wines.
