Itinerary

Total tour duration: 5h00

Visit the château d'Azay-le-Rideau

1h15

As Balzac described it, " The Château d'Azay faceted diamond set by the Indre River" is as faithful as ever. Built by Gilles Berthelot, advisor and secretary to François 1er, you'll be greeted by a straight staircase, a true 16th-century creation, surrounded by a lacework of stone. As you wander through the rooms, you'll discover the lifestyles of several owners from different eras, taking you back in time.

Visit the gardens du Château de Villandry

1h15

A Renaissance château built on the site of an ancient 12th-century fortress, this still-inhabited chateau is a splendid showcase for the Renaissance garden, with its vegetable patch, ornamental gardens and forest... Get lost in the property in the different gardens constantly changing colors with the seasons. With over 110,000 plants planted each year, and dozens of species of vegetables and fruit to adorn the kitchen garden, this is a true visual and sensory experience.

Visit and tasting à Vouvray

2h30

Visit a troglodyte cellar in the heart of the Vouvray appellation, and chat with a passionate winemaker who will introduce you to a wide variety of wines: from sparkling to dry, mellow to semi-dry, you're bound to find what you're looking for. During the afternoon you will discover the Chenin Blanc, this magical grape that allows the winemakers to produce the whole range of wines. After the tasting, stop off in the vineyards for souvenir photos and further explanations about wine in France.
