Visiting Chateaux Great and Small in the Loire Valley


Today would have been the second day of touring with American clients. We had planned to show them our favourite hidden gem in the Loire Valley, and the absolutely unmissable and best known chateau of the area. It's a nice combination of a chateau that all your friends will have heard of and envy your visit, plus something much more off the beaten track and exclusive. Then we round off with a visit to a really friendly organic winery that makes very drinkable sparkling and still white wine from the most important local grape variety, Chenin Blanc.
