Have you seen those worrying reports that there is a shortage of French rosé? Oh no! Summer parties just won't be the same. Never fear though -- the shortage is really just in Provence. Here in the Loire, our rosés are just as delicately flavoured, just as delicious as a chilled picnic and lunchtime tipple. And we have some special distinctive varieties that you won't encounter anywhere else in France. Several of the winemakers we visit make wonderful rosé and you can have the pleasure of meeting the family who makes the rosé you will taste and buy when you join us for a tour. One of the nice things about the Loire Valley wine industry is that it is almost entirely small estates, run by separate families. They don't have big industrial production that allows them to export and advertise internationally, so they remain a local secret.
