The town of Chinon, a historic town classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, knows how to welcome wine lovers and professionals. This town is renowned for its quality red, rosé and white wines. Chinon is the ideal place for cellar visits, wine tastings, walks in the vineyard, oenological workshop. You can book your experience now on Winalist with one of our partnered hosts.


Chinon is known and recognized, both by wine amateurs and connoisseurs, for its eponymous beverage, the renowned AOC. Wine production in the Chinon vineyard is divided into three: 85% is devoted to red wine, 13% to rosé wine and 2% to white wine.


We find three different grape varieties: Cabernet Franc (minimum 90%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (maximum 10%) for red and rosé wines. As for the whites, the grape variety is 100% Chenin.


During your visit or weekend in the city, don’t miss the Royal Fortress of Chinon, which is an 11th century royal castle that also serves as a museum. Pass in front of the Sainte-Radegonde Chapel which is a semi-troglodyte building on the Sainte-Radegonde hillside, to the east of the historic town center of Chinon.


The cultivation of vines dates back to Roman times in Chinon, but it was around the abbey of Bourgueil, founded in 990, that its first vineyard really developed. The Breton grape variety (Cabernet Franc) appeared in the area of Chinon in 1152, thanks to the political union of Anjou and Aquitaine.


It’s also a good idea to take a walk in this city, which has been recognized as a "City of Art and History" since 2000. Indeed, its narrow streets, its tufa mansions, and its half-timbered houses bear witness to its history.
