In October when we visit wineries in the Loire they are
very busy. The harvest is happening, and the winemaking is
beginning for another vintage. Because we have forged excellent
relationships with several wineries in the region, our clients are
allowed in to see the magical transformation of the grape juice into
wine taking place, and the winemaker is available to answer any
questions you may have.
In the picture below, thewinemaker is checking the grapes as they are being gently pressed to release the juice that will make award winning wine. The underground cellar he is working in has been used for storing and making wine since the 17th century, and the cave has sections which date back to the 10th century. The variety of grape they are using here has been grown in this area since the 4th century.
If you visit at the right time, we may be able to sample the wine in its early stages of development, and gain an insight into which wines will be good for each vintage. If you would like to learn more about winemaking at a traditional family run vineyard in the Loire Valley, email us.
