Full Day Private Wine Tour In The Loire Valley With Castle Visit

Venture into the heart of the Loire Valley for a private day devoted to elegant wines, expressive terroirs, and a touch of royal history. This full-day experience is thoughtfully designed to showcase the region’s viticultural diversity, combining two curated wine tastings with a visit to one of the Loire’s most celebrated châteaux, creating a balanced journey between culture and flavour.

Tailored to your pace and departure point—whether you're staying at Les Sources de Cheverny, Le Fleur de Loire, Les Hauts de Loire, Louise de la Vallière, or Relais de Chambord—the day is designed to minimise travel time while offering maximum depth. You’ll begin or end your day with a guided visit to one of the valley’s major castles, chosen for its proximity and historical significance. This may include any of the Loire’s iconic sites, from Renaissance masterpieces to fortified medieval strongholds, each offering a striking backdrop to the region’s noble past.

The focus, however, is on the vineyards. Your two wine tastings will be hosted at a selection of renowned estates and cellars, chosen to provide both contrast and quality. You might visit a historic family-run domaine with deep local roots, followed by a smaller, more intimate estate where the winemaker shares their craft firsthand. Among the producers we work with are names like Plou et Fils, Caves Ambacia, Clos Roussely, Château de Minière, La Richardière, and Pierre et Bertrand Couly : all known for their dedication to expressing the Loire’s Chenin Blancs, Cabernet Francs, and Sauvignon Blancs with precision and character.

A relaxed lunch is woven naturally into the day, offering a welcome pause amid vineyards and villages. Accompanied by the insight of your private driver-guide, the experience unfolds at an easy rhythm, enriched with stories and local knowledge. Blending wine, landscape, and heritage, this journey delivers a refined and memorable encounter with one of France’s most picturesque and storied regions.
