Taste a New Wine

One of our favourite wineries, Chateau Gaudrelle, has announced they will be offering a new wine from the end of the year. Alexandre, the owner and winemaker, tells us it is 100% chenin blanc, light, elegant and drinkable.

If you want to be one of the first to taste le Petit Chenin No11, email us and we will design a tour that includes a visit to Chateau Gaudrelle. You will get to see the winemakers at work as well as taste the remarkable range of Vouvray wines made here.And don't forget -- all tours booked and paid for before the end of March 2013 are at 2012 prices.

Getting to the Loire is Easy

The Loire Valley makes an easy day trip from Paris. The TGV (high speed train) delivers a reliable and well priced service. It only takes an hour from Paris Montparnasse to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps (Tours). We meet about half of our clients at the station in Tours, and the train trip becomes part of the holiday adventure. We make sure our clients have full instructions for buying tickets and it all works very smoothly. They comment on how comfortable the train is and admire the way Europeans travel domestically by train as a matter of course. It's all part of having an authentic experience.

If you want a guided tour of the Loire Valley, but don't want to sit on a coach for hours before you even get here, email us and we will design the visit of your dreams. And don't forget -- all tours booked and paid for before the end of March 2013 are at 2012 prices.
