The Muscadet The soul of the land

During your wine tour, you’ll plunge into the world of Muscadet, the emblematic wine born of the alchemy between a unique grape variety – Melon de Bourgogne – and a singular terroir. The most famous appellation, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, draws its richness from soils of gneiss, schist and granite. In recent years, the Crus Communaux – Gorges, Clisson, Le Pallet and others – have revealed the full depth and complexity of this vineyard with its distinctive character.

Thank you for Your comments

I think that, even if it’s brief (it’s impossible to cover the whole of the Nantes vineyards in 3 hours), this is a fairly comprehensive wine tour offered by the tourist office. It immerses you in vineyards and wine, as well as history and heritage, to give you a good overview of the richness of the region. It’s asample that makes you want to go and discover the rest! This new format for tours in small groups is very enjoyable, as intimate as it is friendly. It’s 100% authentic, and it’s a very simple way of getting to know each other.
