The experience

Brissac Coteaux de l'Aubance and St Mélaine sur Aubance are the two vineyard areas you'll visit on this 3.5-hour morning tour. A local bilingual guide meets you in Angers and drives the group in an air-conditioned Mercedes minivan to the first estate, where you'll taste wines directly from the producers and learn how the region's cool climate shapes the acidity and minerality of its whites. The second winery, depending on availability, sits in the same area or nearby Brissac-Loire-Aubance, so the route stays compact and the focus stays on the wine itself.

At each estate, tastings are generous: you'll move through sparkling, white, rosé and red wines, tasting Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs alongside the winemakers' own stories about their vineyards and methods. Light bites (cheese, charcuterie, bread) pair with the wines and keep the pace leisurely. Because the group is capped at eight, you're not standing in a crowd. The guide can answer questions and adjust the rhythm to the group's interests.

The minivan picks you up in Angers itself, so there's no need to arrange separate transport to a trailhead or a distant meeting point. If you prefer public transit, options exist nearby, though the tour's transport is included in the price.

Top questions

What kinds of wines will I taste on this Anjou tour?

The tasting includes sparkling wines, crisp Chenin Blancs, rosé, and rich Cabernet Francs: the signature varieties of the Loire Valley. Each winery pours its own selection, so you'll taste how different producers in the same region interpret the same grapes.

How does the group size affect the experience?

The tour is limited to eight participants, which means the guide can spend time with each person and the estates aren't overwhelmed. You'll move through the tastings at a pace that suits the group, not a fixed schedule.

Does the tour include transport from my hotel in Angers?

Yes, pickup in Angers is included, and the modern Mercedes minivan is air-conditioned. If you're staying outside the city center, confirm your pickup point when you book.

What should I bring or know before the tour?

The tour suits all fitness levels and involves walking through vineyards and tasting rooms, but nothing strenuous. You must be at least 18 years old. Bring a reusable water bottle, as the company does not provide plastic bottles on board.
