The Loire Valley wine region is one of the world’s most famous areas of wine production and includes several French wine regions stretching from the Muscadet region on the Atlantic coast to the regions of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé close to the city of Orléans in north central France. This meal will take you on a journey through the region sampling some of the finest wines it has to offer. Lionel will also be running one of his famous quizzes throughout the evening with a prize for the winner.
