Walking among the vines
One example? Near Chinon, visit the unusual Cave de la Sibylle in the morning, with its immersive journey through the dreams of Rabelais, followed by a tasting of wines from the winegrowers of Panzoult, a small village in the Chinon AOC. What’s next? In front of the cellar is the start of the 10km hike “Entre bois de Juche-Pie et vignobles des Folies”. Of course, bring a picnic lunch and you’re all set!
There are plenty of other ways to explore the vineyards of Touraine! Explore the AOC Bourgueil vineyards by bike or on horseback, the AOC Vouvray vineyards on a scooter, the AOC Chinon vineyards in a horse-drawn carriage or even an e-quad…
Interpretation trail
Integrated into the “From green hillsides to white tufa” trail, an interpretation trail highlights both the troglodyte cellars on the hillsides and the vineyard. A must-do!
