The Loire Valley is an abundant vineyard country, rich with viticultural sites dating back to Roman times. The region provides 300km of fine vineyards, offering an exceptional range of wines. The Loire Valley's total wine production makes it the third largest viticultural area in France; the second largest for sparkling wine and the largest for white wine.

The significance of wine in the Loire region is evident by the vast fields of vines which cultivate along river banks and the frequent roadsigns offering wine tastings ( degustations ). The region's rich soil and fine grapes develop wines with a fine balance between acidity, exquisite fruit and alcohol. Loire Valley wines age excellently but they can also be enjoyed in their youth.

The region offers a tremendously vast range of wine, with splendid flavors which greatly complement most styles of cooking.

Red Wines
The red wines of the Loire Valley can be either light or full-bodied. The lighter, fruity reds are perfect for summer drinking; complementing a summer barbeque when served chilled. The fuller bodied reds, such as Chinon and Bourgeil, are perfect for autumn, often displaying their true worth after years in the cellar.

Rosé Wines
The refreshing rosé wines of the Loire Valley boast superb flavors and are exceptional for summer picnics and barbecues, such as the rosé wine of Anjou. Many rosé wines are slightly off-dry and pair perfectly with Asian cuisine.

White Wines
The fruity aromas and refreshing acidity of the Loire's white wines are ideal for spring and summer. The Loire Valley boasts an exceptional range of whites, ranging from sweet whites, such as Vouvray and Bonnezeaux, to dry/ medium whites, such as Savonniéres and Saumur; which can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as the final glass.

Sparkling Wines (Fine Bubbles)
The sparkling wines of the Loire are perfect wines for the winter holidays, but can be enjoyed all year round; such as the sweet sparkling wine of Vouvray.
