BOUVET LADUBAY

Had an excellent tasting with Verity. Really fascinating to learn the history of the Chateau and also all of the wine making (still and sparkling) techniques. Super interesting and a great experience. Highly recommended.

Great fun cycling through the wine caves. Bikes are provided, but be aware not all tours are by bike, so you may want to stop by to book a day in advance. Lovely and cool when the heat outside is too much. And beautiful Chateaux style carvings in the caves. Recommended.

Had a nice welcome from the front desk. They give tours by walk-in or by appointment in various languages. Restrooms were impeccable. The cave tours were very interesting and beautiful. The history of these caves goes back to the 900s. Wonderful property and brand with exquisite taste. Thank you to the super friendly, welcoming, and informative staff. Prices are also great for this we'll established brand.

Really interesting and informative tour. We booked a bike tour via the website two days beforehand for €9 each. My husband and I were the only ones so it was a private tour! You ride a vintage bike around the caves and learn about how they make their wines. We tasted about 3-4 sparkling wines after and really enjoyed them. Highly recommended. Thank you Audrey (sorry if the spelling is wrong!) for the great tour!

Had an interesting underground tour of where the wines used to be made. But, was a bit disappointed to find out that 90% of there 6 millions bottles a year production was sparking wines and they also do not plant their own grapes.

Had a fabulous cave bike tour here. We did a bike tour of the caves which was very informative and fun, and then had a wine tasting. They have delicious wines and the tour guide was personable and interesting.

Nice tour of the winery - we only had time for the walking tour but the cycling version sounded better. Tasting was good at the end (lovely wines) - however, our guide spent too much time selling to other folks as opposed to telling us about the wines.

Biking underground tour was fun and informative. Our guide, Olivia explained the process of making sparkling wine the old way.

One of the largest and most established sparkling wine producers in the region, this company gets five stars for many reasons, but most of all for making Zéro - a sparkling wine without sugar for the crispest, best sparkling around. In addition to tastings (of many delicious offerings), they offer tours of their facility with education on how wine is made in English and French. Note that the facility you tour is not their main production facility, but you still get the idea. This is a must stop for anyone in Saumur looking to try sparkling wines!

Wine tasting in the middle of a more "industrialized" setting. There is no vineyard here. You park the car, enter the building and taste some wine Have to say I did not care for anything we tasted & I tried really hard to like their wine. Even the "famous" Gerard Depardieu wine was not to my liking. The staff didn't provide any kind of history about the grapes or region or how the wine was made - it was as if she was purely there to pour wine Mr ended up purchasing 2 bottles to give away as gifts as he felt so guilty we had tasted so many varieties.....but the tastebuds know what they know & we have tasted better

Good sparkling wine tasting. They also offer cave tours to explain their wine making technics.
