If you had to choose just one place to discover Pouilly Fumé wines, it would have to be La Tour du Pouilly Fumé.
Situated in the heart of the village of Pouilly-sur-Loire, this exhibition space offers an oenological and tourist discovery of the vineyard.
In the heart of the village, discover La Tour du Pouilly Fumé which, in a sensorial scenography, helps you to better understand the vines, the work of the winegrowers and the wines of Pouilly.
Listen :
Because behind the wine are the people who make it, we invite you to sit around the large table in the cellar and listen to the Pouilly winegrowers tell you about the eventful history of their vineyards, more than a thousand years old.
Feel:
Discover the hillsides over the course of the seasons and the landscapes in perpetual metamorphosis; then accompany the winegrowers in their work from Saint Vincent's day through to the harvest. Feel the cool winter mists or the heat of summer, watch a vine grow, smell the wet earth after a storm.
Share :
Discover the mystery of winemaking, from the arrival of the grapes in the winery, right through to bottling. The winemakers speak with passion and share some of their secrets with you.
Smell: In a cellar steeped in history, discover the ten aromatic families of Pouilly white wines. In each retort, the aromas are produced using only natural products. A magical experience!
Wine tasting:
At the end of the tour, enjoy a commented tasting of four wines to put your new knowledge into practice. The wines selected will give you a clear idea of the difference between Pouilly sur Loire and Pouilly Fumé, and the influence of terroir on aromatic expression and taste.

Of course, you can find all the wines on offer for tasting in the shop, where you'll also find a thousand and one other souvenirs to pack in your suitcases.
