Who is VinoLoire?

My name is Vincent Delaby, owner and manager of VinoLoire. Almost 20 years ago, I started in the tourism industry whilst in Canada, bringing groups of people on unusual tours through the most beautiful national parks of Quebec. 

Returning to France, my family heritage sparked another passion of mine and I worked in vineyards and wine cellars around the Loire Valley for 10 years. Since then, I trained in wine tourism in the Bordeaux region and I received the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) certificate.

Today, it is this passion that I share with you when I offer our tours around the vineyards of the Loire Valley. A simple, personalised experience is the spirit of Vinoloire!

What is the spirit of VinoLoire?

> Sharing

Thanks to the small-group format of our tours, your guides can easily share their knowledge and winemakers are happy to open their doors to us (and their bottles…) 

> Pedagogy

Here at Vinoloire, we understand the different backgrounds of our visitors and we adapt our tours to all: from novices to experts, wine lovers to beginner…

> Discovery

Vinoloire has developed fun ways to teach and understand what is hidden behind your glass of wine: the soils, the vine, the winemaking process and the art of wine tasting.

> All in one

Everything you could hope for is included in our tours: comfortable transport, walks in the vineyards, tours of wine cellars, wine tasting explained and supplemented with local produce and meals.

Who are your Guides at VinoLoire?

All our guides are bi-lingual, English and French. And all have a personal history and in-depth knowledge of wine. We vary in our backgrounds, from owning a winery, to working the vineyards, even food specialist to expert in French history. Each will provide a unique perspective on wine in the Loire Valley, bringing their personal knowledge to your wine tour.
