For our Grand Masters retreat, we have chosen 5 of the most highly respected, experienced winemakers of the region. These winemakers have a long family history in the art of winemaking, producing some of THE best cabernet franc and chenin blanc wines in the world.   

Our wine retreats are tailormade to showcase some of the best and most innovative producers in the region. During our time in Saumur we have developed great relationships with many of the winemakers in our area. By personally handpicking producers for each themed retreat, we know you will get an immersive,  fun and enjoyable experience exploring all that the region has to offer. 

We will introduce you to high quality wines, show you the whole wine tasting experience where we will take you to the plots where the grapes are grown, meet the winemakers at their domaines and hear about how they create their own expression in their wines, adapting their techniques according to the soils and environmental influences. 

With the inclusion of staying at our home, you will have the opportunity to further chat about the wines we tasted and compare the different vineyards, their wines and the characters that make the Loire the most innovative region for wine making in France. 

Our retreats aim to take all the stress out of organising your own wine tour and accommodation, enjoy the comfortable surroundings of our home, the tranquillity and beauty of the town of Saumur and above all our hope is that all our guests have fun exploring great quality wines, with less of the jargon.

Whether your are a wine enthusiast wanting to explore this region's wines for the first time or more experienced looking for a personal immersion into this region, our wine retreats will offer you the opportunity to experience the wine in a way you will feel most comfortable.
