Tasting of regional wines in a private room of the château.
In a room of the chateau reserved for private parties, participants are introduced to the diversity of the vineyard and the richness of the terroir through the discovery of 3 wines from the AOC of Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny accompanied by 4 toasts of local products.
Chambord red wine (AOC Cheverny) to be tasted!
Tasting of 3 wines:
– 1 red wine produced at Chambord (AOC Cheverny)
– 1 white wine (AOC Cheverny)
– 1 white wine (AOC Cour-Cheverny).The AOC Cour-Cheverny is produced from a single variety the “Romorantin”, introduced in the Loire Valley by King Francis I and planted about thirty kilometers from Chambord, near the chateau of Romorantin.
Just two kilometers (a little more than one mile) from the chateau, fourteen hectares (35 acres) of organic vines have been planted. As there exists conclusive evidence that in the 18th century, the chateau possessed a vineyard, Chambord has renewed its wine-growing tradition. Since 2019, Chambord has been producing homemade wine according to the principles of eco-certified agriculture, without cultivated yeasts. Six wines are produced: white (Romorantin varietal), white AOC Cheverny (Sauvignon and Orbois) ; red AOC Cheverny (Pinot noir and Gamay), red AOC Cheverny aged in oak barrels (Pinot noir and Gamay) and (new!) two quality sparkling wines. They are on sale at the two gift shops and the snack and catering areas of the chateau.
The Loire Valley is the 3rd largest appellation region in France, with a total of 85 appellations and denominations. The area has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status – one of only ten European winegrowing regions distinguished in this way.
This service is ideal as an aperitif before a classic lunch.
In 2025, a new show directed by Mario Luraschi takes visitors on a historic journey through Chambord’s 500-year history, from François I to the present day.
Stunts and giant screen projections plunge visitors into an immersive, daring show with a touch of humor that will delight all generations.
