Château d'Épiré is one of the oldest estates in the Savennières appellation. The estate has been handed down from father to son since 1882, and today the fifth generation of the Bizard family looks after 11 hectares of hillsides overlooking the Loire, 9 of which are dedicated to the Savennières AOC. The three parcels located around the property produce three different vintages. A guided tour of the cellars will allow you to discover the secrets of the wine making process. It is also possible to discover the vineyard (1h30 guided tour) and its sublime panorama.

Monique Laroche planted her first vineyard in 1974 on land that has been cultivated since the Middle Ages. Her daughter converted the vineyard to organic farming in 2009. The vines are ideally planted at the top of a hillside bordering the Loire, sheltered from the north winds in winter and cooled in summer by the west winds. The estate is planted exclusively with chenin, on the Roche aux Moines. You can taste savennières with a powerful nose, mineral, warm, with golden colours. The place is simply breathtaking with its airs of Tuscany of the Loire.

The story of Saveurs is that of a group of local people who decided, in 2007, to buy the main shop in their town when it was about to close. In this cooperative grocery store, local and organic products are available. Favoring short circuits, the store also offers a cellar corner of the most sympathetic where a number of good wines of Savennières are mixed. A grocery store as warm as the land it promotes.

This large estate in Savennières offers guided tours throughout the year on various themes: birds, botany, vines, wine, geology, insects, and even musical strolls, not to mention regularly scheduled themed meals. Her story is linked to that of a dynasty of women and, like three generations before her, Evelyne de Pontbriand here signs the promise of a wine... feminine and romantic. Natural tastes, too. Since 2009, its wines have been organically grown.

Divided between two beekeeping farms in the Vendée and Savennières, Anthony and Mathilde juggle their two operations. Started more than 20 years ago, the farm has more than 300 hives producing chestnut, hawthorn, lime, acacia honey... Au Vent des Abeilles offers other products such as pollen, propolis and royal jelly, natural sweets with a variety of nougat, gingerbread and onion or fig chutney prepared with honey. In Savennières it is Evelyne and François who receive and sell all the productions.
