I realized this week that I had not shared any of the pictures we took while visiting other small villages around the Loire Valley back in July. We spent one of the days that we were in the area being driven around the Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre wine regions by a guide and went back to the town of Sancerre for a second day after seeing how gorgeous it was.
Producer of J's favorite Pouilly-Fumé
Sancerre from afar (it's the town on top of the hill)
Garden at the Maison des Sancerre
Note the tractor cab in the garden: they had a game where you had to pretend to drive the tractor to trim the grapevines. J was not great at it, but I was so spectacularly bad that if I had been driving a real tractor I would have tipped it over. Twice.
Tasting room at François Crochet. This was one of my favorite tastings. I really liked both their red and white Sancerres and the owners were very friendly. They gave us the name of a wine shop that sells their wine and a few favorite restaurants in Paris.
A few more pictures from in and around the town of Sancerre:
