WHERE: Tours, France
WHEN: 27 – 28 May 2023
The Loire. A fascinating place, between history and nature, with the evocative Castles, famous throughout the world.
A land of great tradition, and above all, noble vineyards. Indeed, the wines awarded the AOC label are 79.
In this context, Vitiloire fits perfectly, an unmissable eno-gastronomic appointment, in the splendid Tours. An appointment that returns after two years of closure due to the Pandemic.
The last weekend of May awaits an intense weekend to discover the best wines of the Region, through tastings, workshops and many activities. Also for children.
Vitiloire is an excellent opportunity to discover Tours, the international city of Gastronomy.
A real spot of the savoir-faire of this land; of a cultural, patrimonial and gastronomic richness, of an entire Region.
The numbers of the last edition speak of a great success, with more than 35000 visitors in just two days.
