During the “Odyssey” tour, you will discover the history of Loire Valley cellars and wines. Enjoy an olfactory trail, videos and 3D projections on the tuffeau stone walls, as well as tasting techniques based around three wines, including an old vintage. The tour combines sensory experiences and a journey through the history of wine. Then, enjoy a gourmet break at Bistrot L’Oppidum.

Caves Monmousseau in Montrichard  

Caves Monmousseau in the Cher Valley features 15 km of underground galleries. A true labyrinth in the tuffeau stone!  With this tour, learn how they make their sparkling wines, for which the cellar has been famous since the late 19th century. Understand every step involved in making sparkling wine, including cultivating the vines, harvest, bottling and the various maturing stages. Finish your tour by checking out the trail of projections. The tuffeau stone walls transform into life-sized canvases, on which are projected bright images of the Loire’s greatest Châteaux.
