Passionate about oenology, we give an important place to wines and highlight the winegrowers of the Loire Valley with whom we have built a solid network for ten years.

We welcome you to a remarkable building which was built in 1866 to house a school on land bequeathed by the owner of the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, the Marquis de Biencourt.
