Then you will be welcomed in Caves Duhard established in 1874. Its owner and winemaker Daniel Gatay is specialized in mature Vouvray wines. You can discover a large range of vintages, from 1947 to our days. Made of chenin blanc the Vouvray is a mineral wine with a high acidity level which gives the wine a great aging capacity.
After lunch, you will visit the Royal Castle of Amboise, the residence of François 1st. Here you will discover perfect examples of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance styling, as well as Saint Hubert Chapel which shelters the final resting place of Leonardo da Vinci.
Finally, head to the Manoir du Clos Lucé, really close to the Royal Castle. Leonardo da Vinci died there in 1519. See his bedroom, office, reception room, and kitchen. Discover his invention room, displaying models of his spectacular inventions.
