Loire: visit a Wine Estate
Loire
Along with the Rhône, the Loire is one of the smallest departments in the Rhône Valley in terms of vineyard area. But it still had plenty to offer the visitor! Estates making Condrieu and Côte Rôtie appellation wines nestle here within the unspoilt Pilat Natural Regional Park, boasting a wealth of heritage architecture and history with countless hidden treasures to explore. Then there’s Château-Grillet, dating back to the 18th century and one of the Rhône Valley’s oldest appellations, whose vineyards are considered to be a historic monument in themselves. For white-wine enthusiasts especially, these are a must-visit, with exceptional wines well worth exploring and tasting.
Flavours and terroirs
From glass to plate
Local wines pair beautifully with local foods. That means Mediterranean and Provençal flavours in the south, and the taste of Ardèche and Lyon in the north. Countless culinary combinations to make your taste-buds sparkle!
