For a rare and special event, we have set up an 'extra' tasting event this summer. Experience wine tasting on the rooftop of the theatre on your first night, taste wines from 5 specially selected winemakers who are stars in the region over the course of the weekend, and come with us truffle hunting with the infamous Barron de la Truffe in Chinon. 

Our wine retreats are tailormade to showcase some of the best and most innovative producers in the region. During our time in Saumur we have developed great relationships with many of the winemakers in our region. By personally handpicking wine producers for each themed retreat, we know you will get a fun and enjoyable experience exploring wines in the region. 

We will introduce you to high quality, well made wines, show you the whole wine tasting experience where we will take you to the plots where the grapes are grown for each winemaker we visit, meet the winemakers at their domaines and hear about how they create their own expression in their wines, adapting their techniques according to the soils and environmental influences. 

With the inclusion of staying at our home, you will have the opportunity to further chat about the wines we tasted and compare the different vineyards, their wines and the characters that make the Loire the most innovative region for wine making in France. 

Our retreats aim to take all the stress out of organising your own wine tour and accommodation, enjoy the comfortable surroundings of our home, the tranquillity and beauty of the town of Saumur and above all our hope is that all our guests have fun exploring great quality wines, with less of the jargon.

Whether your are a wine enthusiast wanting to explore this region's wines for the first time or more experienced looking for a personal immersion into this region, our wine retreats will offer you the opportunity to experience the wine in a way you will feel most comfortable.
