The Loire Valley, an enticing land of Chateaux and Chenin Blanc.

Welcome to the Loire Valley – a region where elegant wines, medieval towns, and fairy-tale châteaux converge in one of France’s most enchanting landscapes. Often called the “Garden of France,” this UNESCO World Heritage region is steeped in history and bursting with natural beauty, making it the perfect destination for wine lovers and cultural explorers alike.

From the dynamic streets of Angers, with its 13th-century fortress and lively food scene, to the romantic riverside town of Saumur, home to world-class sparkling wines and the Cadre Noir riding school – the Loire has something to offer every type of traveller.

Further east, the chalky hillsides of Vouvray give rise to refined Chenin Blancs that range from crisp and dry to lusciously sweet, perfect for pairing with local cheeses and farm-to-table cuisine.

Here, wine isn’t just a drink – it’s a way of life. The region stretches across more than 600 miles of vineyards, with appellations including Savennières, Chinon, Bourgueil, and Montlouis-sur-Loire, each offering unique expressions of terroir. You'll taste everything from delicate Sauvignon Blancs and flinty Muscadets to elegant Cabernet Francs and opulent Chenins.

But the Loire Valley is also about the experience beyond the glass. Cycle through sunflower-lined paths to hidden vineyards. Dine al fresco in the shadow of Renaissance castles. Tour ancient cellars carved into limestone caves. Stay in charming boutique hotels and châteaux that combine rustic charm with modern luxury.

Whether you’re sipping a Crémant de Loire in a sun-dappled courtyard or enjoying a private tasting in a centuries-old cave, the Loire Valley delivers a blend of sophistication, authenticity, and pure joie de vivre.
