Vouvray Wine Tour Half-Day from Tours

Discover the Vouvray Wine Region
Located just east of Tours on the right bank of the Loire River, the Vouvray appellation is one of the most famous wine regions of the Loire Valley. 

The vineyards stretch across several villages including Vouvray, Rochecorbon, Vernou-sur-Brenne and Chançay, where limestone soils and the Loire Valley climate create ideal conditions for viticulture. 

Chenin Blanc: The Signature Grape
Vouvray wines are produced almost entirely from Chenin Blanc, a grape known for its versatility and ability to produce a wide range of wine styles. Depending on the vintage and winemaking techniques, Vouvray wines can be:

 • dry (sec) • off-dry (demi-sec) • sweet (moelleux) • sparkling (pétillant or mousseux) 

Visit Traditional Loire Valley Cellars
The Loire Valley is famous for its troglodyte wine cellars, carved into the soft limestone cliffs used historically to build the region’s castles. These underground caves maintain a constant temperature, providing ideal conditions for aging wine.

Meet Local Winemakers
During the tour, visit selected wineries where producers share their knowledge of the vineyard and explain the winemaking traditions that define the Vouvray appellation.
