The visit of the Val de Loire vineyards will end with the visit of lovely estate carefully selected, located in the famous wine area of Chinon. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste a large range of local wines. When grown in the light, sandy-gravel soils along the banks of the Vienne, Chinon is rounded on the palate, supple and easy to drink.
