Choose the Loire experience that suits you
The Loire is not a single wine region or a single kind of day out.
Some guests come for Sauvignon Blanc in Sancerre, others for Cabernet Franc in Chinon, Chenin Blanc in Vouvray or the region's châteaux and gardens. Every tour is private, and Colin can help shape the experience around your interests and available time.

A private tour shaped around you
Choosing a tour is the beginning of planning your day, not the end.
Colin brings local knowledge and long-standing producer relationships to each itinerary. Tell him what interests you, and he can help balance winery visits with the places, food and conversations that make the Loire distinctive.
Meet ColinNot sure where to start?
If you have just one day in the Loire, choose the region or wine style that most interests you. The Touraine–Chenonceaux tour combines wine with a château visit, while Sancerre focuses on the eastern Loire and the Best Reds tour explores Cabernet Franc country.
If you would like to explore several contrasting areas, a two- or three-day tour gives you more time. Whichever you prefer, your enquiry is a chance to discuss what you would most enjoy.

Colin was a fantastic host and guide throughout the Loire Valley for the day.
