Highlights

Step into a moment that feels uniquely special.


10 minutes from Chinon, discover Château du Petit Thouars, a family-run estate where history, wine, and beauty meet.


Begin with a guided walk through our vineyard (Cabernet Franc & Chenin Blanc), followed by a visit to our 15th-century troglodyte cellar and a wine tasting with explanations in the château courtyard.


Then, the moment you’ve been waiting for…


Your private picnic: the table beautifully set and prepared just for you - an invitation to slow down and savour. Enjoy a generous, carefully prepared lunch with fresh salads, deli meats, cheeses, and a local Chinon dessert (dietary requirements and allergies happily accommodated with a small supplement), paired with a bottle of our wine.


In cooler months, settle into a candlelit vaulted indoor space with sheepskins and blankets.


Hosted by the Count and Countess, whose family have owned and cared for the estate since 1636.


Tour/tasting may be shared; the picnic is always private.

Itinerary

  • Chateau du Petit Thouars

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Located just 10 minutes from Chinon, arrive at Château du Petit Thouars, a family-run estate passed down in a direct line since 1636. Begin with a walk through our AOC Chinon vineyards, where Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc thrive. Continue to our impressive troglodyte cellar, carved into centuries-old limestone, where the wines age in French oak barrels. The experience then moves to the château courtyard, for a guided tasting of our wines with clear and engaging explanations. Afterwards, enjoy your carefully prepared picnic in a private setting, with a beautifully dressed table. The food has been sourced from excellent local suppliers, with a preference for organic products including the olive oil and cheese. Your hosts are the friendly Count and Countess du Petit Thouars, owners of the estate, who conduct tours in English, French and Spanish. This is truly memorable Loire Valley experience.
