The royal history of Val de Loire wines

” I was raised in Amboise and, throughout my whole life, always remembered the divine beverage of this beautiful Touraine city, so close to my heart”. .

As a connoisseur of the finer things in life, King Francis I more than appreciated the fruits of the local terroir. They are white, red or rosé, calm, bubbly or lightly sparkling … The wines of Val de Loire, so often praised by Rabelais, continue to enchant taste buds today.

Family traditions and cave cellars

No tour of Val d’Amboise could be complete without a visit to one of the many winemaking properties dotted across the Loire landscape. Put simply, these are little family farms with the most impressive underground cellars where you’ll meet with enthusiastic winemakers. Dedicated to their local land, they share their passion for an ancestral know-how. A dive into some of deepest cave cellars, bearing witness to the historic tuffeau quarries, promises to leave you with some unforgettable memories!

Tastings

At the end of the route, let yourself be enchanted by a little tasting of the fruits of the land. Whether it’s a chenin, côt or cabernet, Val de Loire wines are a real delight to be savoured. And there are a thousand and one ways to pair them. Enjoy your Touraine-Amboise, for example, with a delicate venison stew or your Montlouis with a subtle Loire fish. Or, why not match your lightly sparkling Vouvray with a gourmet dessert of exotic fruits? And if, as Leonardo da Vinci once claimed, “happiness comes to men wherever there is good wine”, you’re sure to enjoy an experience of intense fulfilment!
