Top Chinon Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises

The Loire Valley is famous for its magnificent châteaux and historic wineries, and this tour from Chinon combines both into an unforgettable lunch date. Enjoy a tour and wine tasting at the Château du Petit Thouars, then select your favorite wine to accompany your romantic picnic lunch, overlooking the idyllic Loire Valley vineyards.

No Loire Valley trip is complete without a vineyard visit, and this tour visits a selection of the best around Bourgueil, Chinon, and Saumur with an English-speaking wine guide. With your tour arranged in advance, you'll enter the vineyards with ease and explore the cellars and vineyards before tasting the wine itself. A traditional French picnic lunch is among the perks.

The region of Chinon is dotted with vineyards, yet it can be hard for tourists to visit them if they don't know the language or wine tasting etiquettes. This vineyard experience makes it easy with a tour created by wine-loving English expatriates who showcase the wine made by Chinon's independent producers. You'll cycle to a selection of winemakers, sample the wine, and enjoy a picnic lunch, too.
