When you book a tour with us we usually include a visit to a small family run winery. You'll be shown where the wine is made and have the process explained to you. The winemakers are proud of their 'terroir', the link between their wine and where it is made, that influences the way the wine tastes and its keeping qualities. On the visit shown in the photo, winery owner Delphine explains that Loire wines are not traditionally oaky, but when they do use wine it is important to use barrels made from oak grown in the forests of the Loire Valley.
