The Loire Valley, a legendary vineyard

With over 800 km of Wine Route and more than 1,000 estates open to visitors, the Loire Valley is France's largest vineyard for white wines and second largest for sparkling wines. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site between Sully-sur-Loire and Chalonnes, this unique cultural landscape combines castles, villages and hillsides sculpted by the Loire for centuries.
