Customised Loire Wine Tours in Loire Vineyards

“Thank you for welcoming us to your world for the last six days. I came to La Grande Maison with my three sons to celebrate my 70th Birthday and to introduce them to the delights of the Loire Valley and it’s wines. You organised and delivered a vin marathon of 13 tastings in five days. An excellent holiday”
