I am coming to the Loire Valley (tours)in september with 30 other people on a day trip and would like to know of any wine tasting excursions in the area. Also any unusal suggestions of things to do in a day there.

We just spent three days in Loire (Amboise) and thought we%26#39;d spend a day of that going to wineries and wine tasting. We kept so busy seeing a couple chateaus and seeing the little towns around there, that we didn%26#39;t make it to any wineries. And to be honest, I%26#39;m not sure there really is any wine tasting like you would find in Napa or other noted wine areas. As we drove, we did notice some vineyards and a couple %26#39;grape%26#39; signs, but we ended up not stopping as there was just too much to see. There were some %26quot;cave%26quot; places (with an accent over the %26#39;e%26#39;), but we couldn%26#39;t determine if they were serving/selling their own wines or just a collection of wines from other winemakers -- I think it was the latter.

Hi,
If you are going near Saumur,one of the good wine in the area is called Saumur-Champigny, and the best(one of...) is called Filliatreau. They have a site on the internet www.filliatreau.fr, you can check it out. You also can contact them, their address is on the site. I highly recommend the %26quot;vieilles vignes%26quot;, truly amazing. Good tasting!!
