Full Day Private Castles Tour In The Loire Valley With Wine Tasting

Embark on a private discovery of the Loire Valley, where fairytale châteaux rise from gentle landscapes and refined wines complete the experience. This full-day journey is entirely custom designed, featuring two carefully selected castles and a wine tasting thoughtfully integrated into the day. Built around your interests, pace, and place of stay, the itinerary unfolds smoothly, offering a sense of ease while revealing the richness and elegance of this iconic French region.

From distinguished addresses such as château hotels and countryside retreats, your private driver-guide designs the most efficient route to limit travel time and maximise enjoyment. According to your location, the day may include legendary sites such as Chambord’s monumental presence, Chenonceau’s romantic arches above the river, or the harmonious refinement of Cheverny. Other possibilities include Amboise and Clos Lucé, Villandry’s celebrated gardens, or the historic silhouettes of Chinon, Blois, and Azay-le-Rideau, each château contributing its own distinct chapter to the Loire’s architectural and historical story.

The rhythm of the day remains flexible, with château visits and wine tasting arranged in the order that feels most natural. Your tasting takes place in a welcoming local cellar, where you explore emblematic Loire grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc. From vibrant whites to elegant reds and delicate sparkling wines, each selection reflects its terroir and the craftsmanship of passionate local producers. Time is also set aside for a relaxed lunch at a regional restaurant, adding a flavourful interlude to the experience.

Throughout the journey, your driver-guide manages every detail with care, sharing insights, anecdotes, and local knowledge that bring each place to life. Between vineyard-lined roads, historic towns, and château silhouettes, the Loire Valley reveals itself as both timeless and vibrant. This thoughtfully curated day offers a memorable immersion into one of France’s most beautiful and storied regions, blending culture, landscape, and wine in perfect harmony.
