3-course Lunch at Le Moulin du Loir in Vendôme - Loire Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours








2024 Loire by ombiasy Wine Tours, led by Annette Schiller, took place from Sunday, June 9 to Thursday June 20, 2024. The tour started in Nantes and ended in Sancerre.

Following:

Vineyard Tour, Cellar Tour and Tasting at Domaine Brazilier in Thoré-la-Rochette, Côteaux Vendômois, Touraine, with Owner/ Winemaker Benoît Brazilier - Loire Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours

we had lunch in the town of Vendôme at Le Moulin du Loir. 

Before lunch, we had time to visit the beautiful Trinity Abbey church and its incredible flamboyant Gothic facade. The monastery was founded in 1035 and was under the direct authority of the Pope in those days.

Le Moulin du Loir in Vendôme is a village restaurant that sits over an old wooden mill in the Loir river. Note, the "Le Loir" river is different from "La Loire" river.

We had a 3-course lunch with wine.
