The Loire wine region stretches from the Massif Central, with its cold winters and warm summers, to the Atlantic coast enjoying mild weather all year round. The  vineyards and wineries rely on the  river and its valley  and benefit from the many smaller rivers flowing into the Loire, such as the Cher and the Layon.

The  beautiful Loire Valley is particulaly famous for its white wines made from Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon grapes.
