Coteaux-d’ancenis wines are true gems of the Loire, and are available in all three colours from both sides of the river. They reflect the abundance and diversity of the Anjou and Nantes terroirs.
For the first time, the vintners of the appellation coteaux-d'ancenis will take you to discover the city that gave it its name. Go for a stroll between vines and city to discover the vineyard, the Loire and the rich heritage of Ancenis.1. You begin the hike in a beautiful setting on the banks of the Loire. After that, you arrive at your first break where you enjoy a Muscadet cru Champtoceaux, accompanied by fillet of smoked Loire mullet.
2. The ride continues on a bucolic path to get out of the city. You arrive on the hills of Ancenis in the first vines and you enjoy a breathtaking view of the Loire and the vineyard. At the top of the hill, your second break is at the foot of the stone Meslières. A tasting of Gamay rosé is waiting for you with cheese and grapes.
3. Continue the walk in the heart of the vineyards for a third stop. Vines as far as the eye can see and glass in hand, enjoy a red Gamay accompanied by black pudding and a grape.
4. You leave the vineyards and the return is progressively taking the banks of the Loire. This is the time to discover the built heritage of Ancenis and a sweet coteaux-d'ancenis with a geo-sensory tasting at the castle. In the shade of a cedar, you enjoy this unique setting given by this house of the Renaissance and the view of the Loire.
At the end of your walk, all the winemakers welcome you to the VVR village. At the rhythm of a group of music animating the village, you can enjoy with the products of local producers and a truck of fouées. Wine tasted during the hike will be available for sale and children will enjoy the wooden games.
