Every summer evening, you can watch a magnificent nocturnal show “A la cour du Roy” in the Château. On the program, light shows, water games, fireworks, Renaissance dance scenes and cavalry scenes will make you experience the history of France.

This pearl of Touraine and the Loire still hides other secrets… Leonardo da Vinci spent his last two years at the Château du Clos Lucé in Amboise. Today, this place can be visited by everyone. You can discover the reconstruction of a large part of his Renaissance works.

But Amboise is also a city of wine: it offers sublime wine-growing landscapes. You can also taste, in the Touraine Amboise appellation, white, rosé and also red. Amboise knows how to please everyone!

What particularities for Amboise wines?

Amboise Blanc is a wine made from the Pineau de la Loire grape variety. There are two kinds: sparkling wines, rather light on the palate and pleasantly accompanying aperitifs and desserts, then dry, semi-dry or sweet still wines depending on the amount of sunshine.

Amboise Rouge comes from a blend of different grape varieties: Cabernet and Gamay. And it is then that the wine expresses all its fragrance.

Amboise Rosé is obtained by maceration of the whole grape and comes from the same grape varieties as the red. It is bottled early to preserve all its freshness.

If you want to know more about the history of Amboise wine, don't hesitate to book your next experience now on Winalist. The winegrowers of the region will be delighted to explain to you in detail the secrets of this vinification. If you wish, you can even do a commented tasting. Enjoy your getaway in Touraine!

They have experimented...

"That was the most wonderful wine tasting that you can imagine! Myriam is very professional but doesn't oppress you with her knowledge. She talks about wine so passionately that you are drawn into this world and want to know more and more. She answers all your questions (silly as they may be) and takes time to explain all the details. The tasting itself was magnificent, especially interesting were the explanations about all the combinations with regional delicacies. That was almost like a proper meal. Thanks to her we are now fans of Nougat du Tours and will definitely try to recreate it at home (although only certified bakers are allowed to name their creation by this proud name). We had small children with us and were very worried that they may be bored but they could play freely around the vineyards and had many glasses of wonderful grape juice, so that they could also taste their Vouvray. All in all - great tour and tasting and thanks so much!!!" (Maria Peker on Google, September 2021)

"Wine tour"

" We visited the vineyard, the winery and the caves of Vignoble Alain Robert over 3 hours on a wonderful tour. Our host Myriam was delightful, her English excellent, and she had huge knowledge of everything wine, from vines to bottle to tasting. This tour will suit anyone really interested in the making of wine whether you know a lot or little about the subject. We highly recommend this tour....and a few of the Alain Robert wines!!" (Australiaholly on Tripadvisor, September 2019)

"Highlight of the trip to the Loire Valley"

" I booked the three-hour "From Vine to Wine" tour of the vineyard, winery, and cellar followed by tastings of 6 wines plus samples of excellent locally prepared food -- and every moment was a delight. Myriam, our guide and a member of the owners' family was almost exhaustively knowledgable about each aspect of the process, but it was not at all exhausting to listen to her as we walked because her charm, good humor, and obvious love of the land made for a fascinating afternoon. This tour would be fine for both a novice and a wine connoisseur. The Vouvray wines surprised me - only one was "sweet" and even that was pleasing! And the pairings with local foods was sublime; quite beyond my expectations. All excellent value!" (gOingplaces23 on Tripadvisor, July 2019)
