Driving over for the Le Mans 24 Hours? Why not make a pit stop in the beautiful Loire valley for a relaxing day learning all about the region’s wines.

Only an hour’s drive from the circuit it’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in one of life’s other great passions – wine.

Hit the road with coffee and homemade cake before we take you on a ‘journey’ through the many appellations, tasting a range of wines as we go along. Enjoy a glass of fizz in the garden before refuelling with a delicious candlelit lunch in our old barrel maturation cellar. Finish the day with a walk to the beautiful riverside village of Le Thoureil where we can relax with a beer overlooking the magnificent river Loire.

You’ll have the opportunity to buy wine at cellar door prices.

100€ per person - No prior wine knowledge is required as we aim to make our tastings fun, informative and accessible to everyone.

'Thanks Cathy and Nigel for your wonderful hospitality. The tasting was a perfect introduction to the wines of the Loire and lunch was just fabulous - with inspired wine matching! We're all looking forward to another tasting on our trip next year. See you both then. Mark and the Le Mans 24hr crowd, Woking UK’
