A born gourmet, you love spending as long as it takes to fully appreciate your gastronomic discoveries! Between the wines, Loire and local produce, the Centre-Loire Vineyards are the perfect place for a special moment to share with those you love.
The House of Sancerre offers a semi-independent experience with original and highly educational workshops: slide into the skin of a grape on a 4D cinema adventure, take an 8-minute geological ride through the terroir, meet winemakers in the fun S-Space, explore the amazing garden and enjoy a final tasting of a local wine on the panoramic terrace. With specially designed activities, families and children are welcome too!
Equally instructive is the Tour du Pouilly Fumé with its guided tour: “All You Need to Know About the Vineyard in 1 Hour”. Take part in a sensory journey that includes the Cave aux Arômes© (the Aroma Cellar) where you will discover the ten aromatic families of Pouilly’s white wines. We’re sure you’ll get the hang of it. And you’ll get to put your knowledge to the test straight away during the end of visit tasting. Little chance of confusing a Pouilly-sur-Loire with a Pouilly-Fumé after that!
