Loire Valley: Castles, Wine and Refined Escape
Discover the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Renaissance castles, elegant vineyards, and riverside villages create a uniquely romantic setting. This 4-day small group package, with a stay in a carefully selected 4-star hotel, is designed for travelers who appreciate comfort, culture, and character.
Châteaux Icons: Chambord & Chenonceau
Follow a curated itinerary that brings you to two of the Loire’s most emblematic castles: Chambord and Chenonceau. At Chambord, admire the impressive façades, soaring towers, and the famous double-helix staircase often linked to Leonardo da Vinci, then wander through the vast park and formal grounds. Continue to Chenonceau, the graceful “Château des Dames”, where arches span the Cher River and elegant rooms, flower arrangements, and riverside gardens reveal centuries of history.
Wine Country Elegance: Chinon & Bourgueil
Leave the château trail for a day among the vines in the Chinon and Bourgueil wine regions. Travel through rolling vineyard landscapes to family-run and renowned estates, explore atmospheric tuffeau-stone cellars, and enjoy guided tastings of expressive Cabernet Franc wines. Learn how soil, exposure, and winemaking choices shape the styles of Chinon and Bourgueil, enhancing your appreciation of Loire reds.
Intimate Small Group Experience
With limited group size and an experienced local guide, this journey feels personal and flexible rather than rushed. There is time to ask questions, pause for photos, and follow your interests, whether that means more time in the château interiors, in the gardens, or at the tasting counter. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere suits couples, friends, and solo travelers seeking a more connected experience.
Relax in 4-Star Comfort
Your 4-star hotel provides a welcoming base after each day of exploration, with added comfort and services to enhance your stay. With all transfers included, you can simply unwind, enjoy regional cuisine, and savor a glass of local wine as you reflect on the castles, vineyards, and landscapes discovered during your Loire Valley escape.
