Presentation

The Nantes vineyards invite you to another world, somewhere between Brittany and Tuscany. They encourage you to leave the Jade coast behind and immerse yourself in a sea of vines, where you can meet passionate winegrowers and discover landscapes labelled ‘Land of Art and History’.

Just an hour from Pornic, the Nantes vineyards offer a striking contrast: here, the horizon is no longer the ocean, but a succession of green hills sculpted by vines.
The Loire, the Goulaine marshes, vineyard landscapes, picturesque rivers and Clisson, with its Italian scenery, offer a whole region of art and history to discover. 

An unforgettable getaway on the outskirts of Nantes awaits those seeking the perfect balance between local produce and the art of living. 
A gourmet excursion in the heart of Muscadet country.
A region where gastronomy, architectural heritage and the good life come together to create an authentic experience. 

What's more, everything is geared towards hiking and outdoor activities.
You can explore the Nantes vineyards:

•  on foot,
•  by bike
•  or by canoe. 

 Three good reasons to visit the vineyards:

1. This is the birthplace of the famous Muscadet wine. Forget your preconceptions! Driven by a new generation of winemakers, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is now available in ‘Crus Communaux’ (Clisson, Gorges, Le Pallet, etc.) that rival the greatest French white wines. Step inside a cellar for an ‘on lees’ tasting and discover all the minerality of this unique terroir. Meet the winemakers who are ensuring the rebirth of an exceptional wine. 
2. An unusual ‘Italian’ heritage: The vineyard is marked by its original architecture, the ‘Clissonnais’ style, with its red bricks and neoclassical villas. Between tastings, explore the Domaine de la Garenne Lemot or the Musée du Vignoble Nantais in Le Pallet to understand how this land of traditions has cultivated a strong taste for art and aesthetics.
3. Breathtaking panoramas: The vineyard is not only to be tasted, but also admired. Don't miss the Porte-Vue in Château-Thébaud, a vertiginous footbridge over the Maine River, or the Liveau mill in Gorges. These viewpoints offer spectacular views of the rows of vines stretching endlessly to the Loire River.

  Expert advice:
- In the heart of the vineyards, discover the expertise of Nantes winegrowers at the Musée du Vignoble Nantais. Located in the middle of a vine variety conservatory in the commune of Le Pallet, it preserves the wine-growing collections of the Pays du Vignoble Nantais and invites visitors to discover this region with its distinctive identity. 
- While it's only natural to broaden your horizons across the entire vineyard, take the opportunity to treat yourself to a little trip to Italy by visiting Clisson. A must-see town that's not to be missed.
