Wine lovers heading to France for their summer holidays are in for a real treat with some truly delicious tipples on offer.
Regions such as Bordeaux are well known for their grape varieties across the globe.
But you might like to try something different and sample Loire Valley wines, as these are "easy to drink and relatively light", according to an expert.
Amanda Gallou from Amanda’s Wines – a firm that imports the drink from this region – says the white wines are unoaked and this gives them the delicious light quality.
"The Sauvignon Blanc is one of the main grape varieties," she explains, but there’s plenty more to choose from.
If you’re passing through the Loire Valley in June or July, you should definitely check out the Anjou Festival.
Running from June 17th to July 10th, the country’s second-largest theatre festival is sure to be entertaining and you could even pick up a bottle or two while you’re there.
