Areas to visit

The estates of the Pays Loudunais invite you to taste their wines. But not just any tasting! Here, tasting also means meeting, chatting and sharing. Glasses clink, conversations stretch on a little longer than expected. In the Pays Loudunais, between Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, tasting is like celebrating a holiday. It’s yet another opportunity to celebrate this corner of the countryside where wine has character and winemakers have personality.

The wineries open their doors to visitors in all simplicity: you can taste, talk, learn a few anecdotes about the vine and often leave with a smile on your face and a bottle under your arm. Saumur AOP wines find an ideal playground here: sun-drenched hillsides, expertise passed on with passion and a real desire to share.

You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy them. You just have to be curious, hold out your glass and let yourself be guided. You’ll discover the nuances, the family stories, the precise gestures that make all the difference. And above all, take the time to savour.

Between two glasses, the scenery is well worth a look: golden fields, quiet villages, rolling landscapes that smell of the good life. It’s this combination of simplicity and authenticity that makes the Pays Loudunais so charming.

So, if you’re looking for an area where wine rhymes with conviviality, look no further: here, every tasting has a taste of the real thing!
