Caves à vin- Maisons des vins AUX ALENTOURS

A historical place where wines and products from the Loire Valley are honored. Vino Valley and its 250 or so products, exclusively from the Loire Valley, have set up shop in a former wine-making cellar, preserving the rails that were used to transport bottles and barrels. To help you make up your mind, the team will have you taste the star bottles at the bar, and you will be able to accompany them with a delicious wine list. Tasty moments to share in a place as unusual as charming.

When you open the door to this wine cellar, with its ceiling-high crates and bottles, you'll find no fewer than 1,000 wine references from every region of France. From small vintages you'd never have thought of to the most prestigious grands crus, you're bound to find what you're looking for. The always smiling cellarman will be happy to advise you, particularly on food and wine pairing. Ideal for impressing your guests! For spirits lovers, whisky, port and vodka are also on sale.

Mr Pibaleau, who turns to organic viticulture, gets you in his field and will teach you the qualities of his white, rosé, red, and the crémant de Loire. The visit of the vineyard is commented on by the operator himself. Note, all vintages after 2008 are volatile, and the domain is in conversion to biodynamie. Discover the parcels all year round (except Sundays and holidays) and the different stages of vine evolution. Two tours are offered, a short 45 minutes and a longer 1 h 30. You can come to the family, a corner for children is built: a place only for them, with wine juice, is made available to them. You can then enjoy the wines in the cellar.

The Marché des Vins de Loire, located in Montsoreau, is a must for wine lovers. Nestled on a hillside with a magnificent view of the Château de Montsoreau and the Loire, this market offers a unique experience in troglodyte cellars. The market's original concept makes it a convivial place to share the tastes and flavors of the region. Don't miss this opportunity to visit a troglodytic site and taste Loire Valley wines in moderation, of course.
