The "Gourmet stroll" was created in 2014. After 8 summers organising wine tastings at the heart of the vineyard, we don't offer this wine tour anymore.
If you would like to visit the vineyard, we recommend you join one of our “From the vine wine” tours.
You're looking for an original, unique and off the beaten path experience in the Loire Valley vineyard? Come and join us for a tasting amidst the vines of Vouvray!
Meet us at our family winery, Vignoble Alain Robert, located at the heart of the Vouvray vineyard. We will start this wine tour with a guided walk in the vineyard, to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and to learn about AOC Vouvray, its specificities and requirements in terms of grape varieties, soils... as well as the different styles of wines produced in the area and the vinegrower's work throughout the year. We will then settle among the vines to taste 5 Vouvray and Touraine wines produced at the family winery and served with local delicacies. A wine game will be offered before the wine tasting to remind you about the techniques to taste wine. As we go back to the winery after the wine tasting, it will be possible for you to buy wine there at cellar-door prices.
This wine tour is open to children from 6 years old - for more information, see below.
NB: in case you are a vegetarian, please let us know in advance so that we can adapt the local delicacies served during the wine tasting to your diet. If you eat gluten-free food, you are welcome to bring your own bread.
