On the Routes des Vins et Village de l'Anjou, this 90km wine tour by car takes you past châteaux, troglodyte villages and windmills... It's the perfect time to sample the many AOC wines of the Saumur region!
The Route Touristique du Vignoble: "Vignobles et troglodytes du Saumurois".
Leaving from Saumur, a Town of Art and History, set off to discover wine-growing villages, Loire villages and troglodyte villages: tufa and falun architecture, high walls, walled enclosures, châteaux and underground passages, a royal abbey, monumental cellars, mills and other vineyard lodges that make up the rich landscapes of this Unesco World Heritage Loire Valley.
Along the way, you'll visit wine cellars and estates where the winemakers, all passionate about their trade and keen to pass on their know-how, will give you the warmest of welcomes. You'll be able to taste the wines produced on these soils, from Saumur-Champigny or Saumur Rouge with their aromas of wild berries, Coteaux de Saumur or Coteaux du Layon with their golden hues, festive Saumur Brut or Crémant de Loire, gourmet Saumur Rosé or Cabernet d'Anjou... and so much more...
The vineyards and the incredible underground world of Saumur are yours to discover. We wish you a pleasant journey!
