Sancerre

Sancerre sits atop a hill overlooking the Loire and offers not only excellent wine but also one of the most beautiful views in the region. The cabriolet tour through the valley is particularly delightful here, as narrow serpentines, quiet country roads, and the view over the surrounding vineyards make the journey an experience. As a traditional town on the Loire Wine Route, Sancerre embodies the harmony of enjoyment, landscape, and French lifestyle in a unique way.

Historic Old Town with Character

The old town of Sancerre is compact but full of atmosphere. Cobblestone streets, narrow alleys, charming houses with flower-adorned shutters, and small squares invite visitors to linger. A visit to the Tour des Fiefs, a medieval watchtower that now serves as a viewpoint, is particularly worthwhile. From up here, on clear days, the view extends far beyond the Loire Valley – a perfect moment for a break during the trip.

Sauvignon Blanc and More – A Place for Connoisseurs

Sancerre is world-renowned for its fresh, mineral Sauvignon Blanc. The surrounding vineyards shape the landscape and invite tastings at wineries and in wine cellars. Many wineries offer tastings where the variety of regional wines can be explored. Cheese lovers will also find something to enjoy – Crottin de Chavignol, a goat cheese from the area, pairs excellently with the local wine.

A Culinary Experience on the Loire Wine Route

Sancerre’s location makes it an ideal starting or stopping point for further explorations along the wine route. Combined with the open driving style of a cabriolet, the route through the Loire Valley becomes a journey for all senses – with Sancerre as one of the most enjoyable destinations. Here, natural beauty, authentic French culture, and culinary excellence come together in a distinctive way.
