Gourmet products local specialties and wines Montsoreau

Whether or not you visit the castle where the memory of its lady of Montsoreau still floats, at least stop by the Domaine de la Perruche, a prestigious wine estate in the Saumur-Champigny appellation. The 40 ha of vines are rooted in the clay plateau of the cliff, while the cellars are sunk even lower in the rocky side. Here, champigny and white saumur wines of great finesse and richness are matured at a constant temperature and have won many awards. The estate has regained its former prestige thanks to skilfully executed cultivation methods.

The Marché des Vins de Loire is a must-see in Montsoreau, offering a unique experience for wine lovers. Situated on a hillside with a breathtaking view of the Château de Montsoreau and the Loire River, this market offers wine tasting and sales in troglodyte cellars. The site is designed to be convivial and conducive to sharing tastes and flavors. Visitors can taste and buy wines on site.

The Flea Market, an institution. Every second Sunday of the month, bargain hunters flock to the quays of the Loire where 80 second-hand dealers display their wonders. In 2006, the Flea Market received the France-Europe Antiques Quality label, which recognizes the quality of the goods on display. Furniture, unusual objects, lace, old books, there is something for everyone! In May, the flea market celebrates spring and takes nature and gardens as its theme. The stalls are set up in the alleys and the animations and tastings are going well. Charm and bargains!
