About this activity

This adventure is all about tasting and learning to appreciate the unique “terroir” of the Loire Valley. You’ll learn all about the wonderful Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot noir grapes and several different types of goat’s cheese. To do that you’ll be visiting two wineries with fascinating histories, walking through vineyards, and touring cellars full of oak barrels. You’ll also visit a local farm where you will see goats get milked and learn all about how goat cheese is made.
The first winery you’ll visit has an amazing Franco-American history with Thomas Jefferson and General LaFayette playing roles in it. Their beautiful chateau has a medieval donjon tower and is completely surrounded by vineyards that serve to create high quality Pouilly-Fumé wines. The second winery you’ll visit is run by two hardworking brothers who are passionate about natural wine making methods and create amazing Sancerre wines.
