Along the Loire, it’s not just the castles that tell stories—the vineyards do too. Did you know the Loire Valley vineyard stretches nearly 800 kilometers, from Nantes to Sancerre? Between pedal strokes, take a break to sip a crisp Muscadet or a delicate Chenin. Don’t worry, you’ll burn off the calories on the next stretch!
The route, marked over 900 kilometers, winds through charming villages like Montsoreau, home to one of the region’s most stunning castles, or Chinon, famed for its robust reds. Each stop invites you to raise a glass and toast with passionate winemakers who are as eager to share vineyard tales as their recipes for rillettes pie.
If you’re a mystery hunter, don’t miss Vouvray, where troglodyte caves hide sparkling treasures. The secret to a great Crémant de Loire? Endless patience and a touch of magic. But shh, you’ll have to pedal to uncover more. Ready to hop on your bike?
