From the moment we stepped down from the coach into the Loire sunshine to the our fond farewells, our day with Cathy, Nigel and Maryse at Le Tasting Room was a wonderful day!

Cathy and Nigel were wonderful hosts: Cathy giving us an introduction to the Loire and to the basics of wine tasting, Nigel bringing the wine and some delicious fried pork belly.
