Wine, restaurants, and local products

WHAT BRINGS US HERE
Against the background of the traditional wine industry and its millions of liters produced, natural wine offers us a new, joyful and transparent model. This exemplary, delicious and philosophical wine requires an even greater knowledge of the land, the climate and the grapes. The result in the mouth is something amazingly alive and complex that captivates a growing number of fans. Natural wine is now a worldwide trend.
The Loire Valley has established itself as the main region of natural wine production in France. It was a profound and silent revolution that in the last twenty years has led its producers to achieve surprising results.
This itinerary will take us to the center of this global wine phenomenon while visiting some of the most beautiful castles and villages in France.

  

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
As with traditional wine routes, we will tour the Loire Valley with selected stops at some of the properties that produce the best natural wines of the region. We may also include a castle to our itinerary as in the Loire Valley we find some of the most beautiful castles in France, incredible places with characters and historical facts that seem to have come out of fantastic tales. We will have time to visit medieval cities that are part of the history of France. Throughout the trip, we will taste the regional cuisine dishes in restaurants carefully chosen for a complete gastronomic experience.
Our natural wine tour is organized on demand and can be customized as per any duration, expectations and objectives.
Our most popular tour is the day trip leaving from Paris. A typical day trip would look like this:

WHERE ?

did you know

Natural wine is made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes, harvested by hand, and vinified using traditional techniques (e.g., horses for soil treatment instead of tractors). It is characterized by very low or nonexistent levels of sulfur dioxide (sulfites), which can form sulfites when in contact with the alkaline solutions in the wine. The origin of natural wine dates back to the early 20th century when a revolt of winemakers in southern France demanded “natural wine” made exclusively from grape juice and without “artificial production.” This age-old demand in the world of wine joined, from the 1980s onwards, the consumer demand for healthy food and the societal movement back to nature, giving rise to the current concept of “natural wine.” Learn more in this article.
