Sparkling cave visit...Vouvray Foire aux vins

After the brocante  in Amboise on bank holiday Monday we headed over to 'Les caves de la Bonne-Dames' in Vouvray for a spot of wine-tasting.

Have to say that I was  impressed by the fact that it was advertised and signposted all the way from Amboise.

As there were a number of events over the holiday weekend it was a quiet affair but plenty of options to taste and as you only pay €3.00 for your glass great value for money.

Being the 'designated driver' Pauline was the main wine-taster for the day and did it with great gusto!

We picked up some sparkling and some still wines from suppliers new to us so well worth the visit.
