That same day we went to a famous Touraine winery, Vouvray. We took a tour of the caves where the wine is stored, and then had a wine tasting. Perfect way to end the excursion.
Over eight million bottles are stored in the huge cave. The stone taken out of these old caverns was used to construct various châteaux and other buildings that can be found in the Loire Valley. After we toured the caves, we went and watched a video that did the wine making process no justice. The video was completely boring and showed how machines cork the bottles - I guess I had a very romanticized vision of how wine is produced, probably because I associate snobby wine with complication.
