Wine tasting in Touraine: discovering the local vineyards
Touraine is, above all, a land of wine — and what better way to discover it than directly from your holiday destination? At Le Parc de Fierbois, local winemakers come to present their vintages and share their passion.
Visitors can sample renowned appellations such as Vouvray, known for its fine bubbles and fruity aromas; the powerful reds of Chinon; Bourgueil wines with notes of red berries; and the dry whites of Montlouis-sur-Loire. These PDO wines are produced from emblematic Loire Valley grape varieties including Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc.
A genuine human experience
Tasting a wine is one thing. Understanding the story behind an estate, its vineyards and the region itself is even better. Each week, the winemakers at the Fierbois market take time to talk with visitors, explain their craft, describe their cellars and discuss biodynamic or sustainable farming methods.
It’s a true wine tourism experience, set in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. Wine lovers can ask questions about grape varieties, food pairings or storage conditions — and leave with a few bottles tucked into their suitcase.
