Named after the longest river in France, the vineyards of the Loire Valley offer a myriad of very diverse wines. The white wines range from crisp and dry to sweet and intense elixirs, while reds made with Cabernet Franc, often rustic, may also provide great aromatic depth and elegance. With its 200,000 acres of vineyards, the Loire Valley checks all the boxes when it comes to wine types and colors, from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the quiet villages of the middle of the country, home of the world famous Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé.
