Maison Lacheteau-Blanc Foussy - Grandes Caves Saint-Roch — Local services in Tours

We had a lovely afternoon here. We were biking by and initially tried to visit at 12:30, but discovered they were closed until later. We came back and enjoyed a self guided tour through their caves with their detailed brochure. It was fascinating to see the vats, machinery, and process of making the wine. It was definitely cool in the cave, so bring a jacket. Afterwards they happily let us try several different wines. We were impressed with their knowledge of the wines and the region and learned a lot. It was a wonderful environment without any pressure to buy, but after sampling such a variety we bought our favorites and carried them on our bikes with the intention of drinking them tonight and coming back in the car to buy more...

My wife and I visited the wine shop and wine caves after we met one of the team at the recent wine festival in Tours. We had a pleasant self guided tour accompanied by an English language booklet providing details of the history of wine making and other historical factors. The team member we spoke to was very knowledgeable and there is a fine selection of wine available to buy. It’s very close to Tours itself, recommended if you are...

This is a wonderful place to stop and taste very nice wine and check out their impressive cave system. We have been 2 times (so far ;) on this trip and had a great time learning about the wine, the vineyards and the whole area from Alexi. He gave us 2 very thorough tastings, but also graciously imparted a lot of local knowledge and tips that have really added to our stay here. Thank you Alexi...
