Private Wine Tours to Vouvray, Montlouis & Beyond

Choose a Private Wine Experience Around Your Interests
A private wine tour gives you the opportunity to shape the focus of your day rather than follow only a scheduled shared route. Explore an unfamiliar wine area, discover different producers, or make wine part of a broader cultural itinerary.
Winery visits and tasting appointments depend on availability. The final program also takes account of travel time and the time needed at each stop, ensuring that your preferred experiences fit within a practical route.
-
Combine Wine Tastings with Château Visits
For a varied introduction to the Loire Valley, consider a private itinerary or multi-day package combining wine experiences with château visits. Discover the region through both its historic estates and its vineyards, with visits spread across your stay.
Private and small-group multi-day packages are available from Tours, while Amboise offers private packages only. Contact our team to discuss your preferred wine areas and find an experience that fits your travel plans.
