Wine tourism in Val de Loire : a price and a quality approach

The 14th Gastronomades has awarded the gastronomic initiative prize to the wine tourism event « Vines, wines and hiking » in the Val de Loire.

This prize rewards the most original activity promoting food for which wine is one of the most important elements. It celebrates an event that brought together, this year, 2,800 participants around twelve walks filled with flavour in the Val de Loire wine region, one of which was in Muscadet, around Monn ières.

Audit of the network of « Caves Touristiques (Touristic wine-cellars)»

The network is successful with the more demanding tourists. In order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the network and check the implementation of the quality criteria of the Loire wine region charter, an audit was undertaken. Two conference-debates were then organised for January for the Val de Loire as a whole. This will be on 20 ^th January in the cellars of the Montlouis producers for the cellars of 37 (Indre-et-Loire) and 41 (Loir-et-Cher).
