We had a great time, on a Saturday at 10am, tasting more or less 10 diiferent wines (white and…read morered). They were all very different from each other and it was a pleasure to feel the impact of the years or the type of "fût" or the land on the taste... The Savenière wine is very well known in the area. The winemaker is a woman and she spent a lot of time with us, chatting about wine of course and even if we don't know a lot about it, just the fact of enjoying it was enough to have great conversations!!!

Highly recommend spending a day with Nigel and Cathy when visiting the Loire valley.

Their home was beautiful and the lunch was one of my favorite meals in France. They were experts on the wines of the region, but were very approachable and poured a variety of wines including value wines. Overall a lovely and unique wine tasting experience!

Perfect day trip away from Paris. Easy trip by TGV train connections from Metro. Posted photos…read moredon't show the 1/2 of it! Letastingroom is a terrific site, location, experience and delicious too! Their location is right along the Loire river...beautiful countryside. Cathy picked us up at the train in Angers and took us on a little driving tour of the area before bringing us to her lovely house/home/workplace...a converted and very updated old stone house set partially into a hillside. Cathy is a lively and very knowledgeable teacher and her husband Nigel is a wonderful point man. Together they made our whole day extremely enjoyable as well as educational. After our "lesson" they served us an absolutely scrumptious 4-course luncheon in their farmhouse kitchen. Thank goodness we went for a walk along the Loire and around the village after lunch so we could begin to walk off the delicious calories. After that they drove us back to the train. And we just glowed on our ride back to Paris. We heartily recommend this experience to everyone. Louise Winheld. San Diego, Ca
