The Ambacia Tour is a multisensory journey spanning 500 years of history and winegrowing. The experience begins with a visit to the historic underground cellars, where you will discover how wine-production techniques have evolved over the centuries. It continues with a sensory workshop and a tasting guided by a sommelier, during which you will learn professional tasting techniques, pairing six wines with a selection of local gastronomic specialities. It is a unique opportunity to uncover the secrets of the aromas and terroirs of the Loire Valley while having fun in a setting of exceptional historic value.
Property Le Caves Ambacia is a place steeped in history, located in Amboise, where the winemaking tradition dates all the way back to 1463, when King Louis XI decreed that the wines produced in the vineyards of the Royal Castle of Amboise should be the first sold at the Tours market. The site is renowned for housing the "Duhard Wine Library", an exceptional collection of Vouvray wines boasting vintages going back to 1874. Under the guidance of Pascal Mineau, former manager of Michelin-starred restaurants, the property today devotes itself to selecting the finest Loire terroirs and championing Chenin Blanc, working in close collaboration with seven partner winegrowers who follow organic or biodynamic practices.
