Loire Uncorked |
Ever wondered just how wine is made? Do they still tread the grapes? What makes a good wine really great or a cheap wine nasty? Here at Loire Uncorked we explain the process, give you the pleasure to taste which wines you really enjoy and so make an informed decision. Imagine, we'll pick you up from your hotel or gite, take you along the beautiful Loire countryside, passing fairytale chateau, Trolglodyte cave dwellings, watching the pavement cafes bustling with locals then we'll get down to the fun business of the day and take you to some fantastic vineyards. Here in the Loire there are some great wines, still realistically priced unlike some Burgundies and Bordeaux but every bit as interesting, many better, some, world class. You can top up your cellar, get some great bubbly for that family celebration or just buy some great wine to take home, whatever you like. After visiting a couple of vineyards we'll have a delicious local lunch in one of our specially selected restaurants. Replete, we will visit our last vineyard of the day. Then we'll drop you off back at your hotel or gite and leave you to muse on the day and maybe even sample one of the scrummy bottles you bought along the way. What better way to spend a day? |
I loved the mix of vintners & appreciated being taken to smaller family domains and speaking to the people who work with the wine daily. Today's tour fortuitously focused on different stages of the winemaking process, which made the day even more special as far as understanding the whole venture. Thanks for taking care to select each domain according to our interests and level of experience. A+. Mrs Lynch, New York. |
