An event not to be missed out on by any wine tourist who happens to be in the Loire Valley, “Vignes, Vins et Randos” comprises no fewer than 15 colourful winegrowing hikes! Organised by InterLoire (the Loire Valley wine interprofessional organisation), they’re all easy, companionable walks in the Loire Valley, to be enjoyed as a family or among friends and designed to acquaint participants with the various appellations as they make their way through the vineyards against a background of landscapes inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, accompanied by winegrowers and wine merchants and prolonging the summer…
