Domaine Beaumont — Winery in Distré

An elegant chambre d'hôtes on a wine estate south of Saumur, where Sarah-Jane and Gérald give you a warm welcome in their historic property. The estate is in the charming village of Distré, surrounded by two hectares of wooded park and four hectares of vineyard. It's a deliberate mix of British style and rustic chic: Sarah-Jane is the British hostess, Gérald the passionate winemaker. Join a wine tasting in the vineyard, walk through the vines, or order Gérald's panier vigneron in the evening, a basket of wine and local produce served in your room. For larger groups a fouée meal is possible too: Loire bread rolls fresh from the oven, filled with local specialities. Even if you're not staying, you can come for a tour of the vineyard, the vaulted wine cellar and the tasting room, followed by a tasting of the three wines: 100% Cabernet Franc (red), Chenin Blanc (white) and the Extra Brut Nature sparkling wine.
