Of WInes and Boats

After 8 years of partnership with the boatmen of Millière Raboton, it is time for us to develop other wine activities. This boat tour and wine tasting will therefore no longer be scheduled until further notice.

On a beautiful summer day, at dusk, imagine yourself sitting on a sandbar, in the middle of the Loire, your feet in the water, enjoying a glass of Loire Valley wine with local cheeses and charcuteries. This is the unique and unusual experience that, since 2017, I have been offering visitors, in partnership with Millière Raboton, homme de Loire, a company that throughout the year organises rides on the Loire aboard traditional wooden boats. 

 

The boat rides start in Chaumont-sur-Loire, from the harbour located at the foot of the castle. They last between 3 and a half to 4 hours and are the opportunity to discover the river (history, plants, animals...) thanks to the experimented pilots, as well as to taste 4 Loire Valley wines - one served directly on the boats, the others on a sandbar along or in the middle of the river, depending on the level of the river at the date of the ride. The wines are served with local delicacies such as cheeses, charcuteries, Loire fish rillettes... You won't need to have dinner after the tour, as there is sufficient food served with the wines. An original, genuine and unique experience, for a magical and unforgettable moment!

 

Children are welcome on this tour. They will taste local fruit juice instead of wine and will be served the same food as the adults.
