A propos de cette activités
Situé à 10 minutes de Chinon dans la magnifique vallée de la Loire, arrivez au château du Petit Thouars, un vignoble familial qui appartient à la famille du Petit Thouars et se transmet directement de père en fils depuis 1634. Vous serez accueilli à notre bureau et serez ensuite conduit pour une promenade dans notre vignoble Cabernet Franc et Chenin blanc de l'AOC CHINON, à travers le clos et nos vieilles vignes, à notre cave impressionnante située dans les grottes de calcaire qui datent de plusieurs siècles, où nos vins vieillissent dans des fûts en chêne français. L'excursion mène ensuite à notre salle de dégustation historique située dans les anciennes écuries du château, où vous participerez à une dégustation informative et instructive de notre gamme de vins. Après la dégustation, choisissez une bouteille de vin pour savourer avec votre déjeuner pique-nique que vous apprécierez dans un cadre unique : à côté de notre ancien pigeonnier, surplombant les vignes, avec le château formant une majestueuse toile de fond. C'est une expérience unique et inoubliable dans la vallée de la Loire.

One of the nicest parts of our trip to France. Sebastian and Maryella made us feel at home wandering around the beautiful fields. Loved the explanation of the winemaking process and the wine tasting was great .The picnic with fresh bread , cheeses and pate finished with a winemakers tart and accompanied by a lovely rose was the one memory of our week to France that we still talk about. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Five stars and not to be missed!!!
We arrived at an impressive chateau and were met by our tour guide who spoke perfect English. She took us on a brief tour of the vineyard and told us about its history and how the vines are managed. We then went underground into the caves where the barrels are kept. The cave passages were dug by the builders of the chateau to extract the stone for the chateau some 400 years ago. Whlst we were there we were given a brief talk on the wine making process. We then returned to the chateau where we were greeted by its current owner who told us, in excellent English, the fascinating history of the building and we then tasted about six different wines. A superb simple lunch was served together wth a bottle of wine. In all we were there for about 3 hours. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time and I believe it represented good value. It is possible to buy the wine they make but there was no pressure to do so. It was cold in the cave tunnels so take a jumper!
Fantastic experience from very informative vineyard tour to the luscious picnic in the chateau grounds.with wine ! A must do experience if you are in the area.
This estate has been in Sebastin's family for over 500 years! Sebastian and his wife, D'Arcy are now living and operating the estate and vineyards! We started with a lovely walk in the vineyards, joined by their dog and cat! D'Arcy showed our group 3 different types and areas of the vineyard and a lot of information regarding the criteria they must meet in order to label their wines appropriately. We also toured the cellars, actual caves, where they age their wines. Michel, their winemaker was busy labeling bottles of rose for shipment. After the walk, we were introduced to their wines with a wine tasting. As we sampled the wines, a gorgeous table was set up outdoors under the trees for our picnic. As we started to eat, the afternoon rains came and we all gathered our plates and food and wine and returned to the wine tasting room to finish lunch. There was more than enough food bread, cheese, pate, terrine, salads and it was very nicely paired with our wine choice. Dessert was a local apple tart ? with wine glaze. Yummy. A very comfortable day. Sebastian and D'Arcy were gracious and warm and relaxed. This is a very unique way to experience a winery. The country in the Chinon area is wide and spread out. I would advise using a GPS for your travels.
Also we had a bit a problem to find the location GPS coordinates wrong, phone not answered it was worse the trouble. The Family that owned the chateau is very welcoming the tour is informative, the wines are special and the picnic was just fantastic. Can only recommend this to everyone who loves french wine, food and history.
What a lovely afternoon we had! Darcy and Sebastian did everything they could to accommodate us. Lunch was wonderful, the tour of the vineyard and wine cellar very interesting, and we had a hard time choosing which wine to bring back with us.
