Presentation for your day trip in Savoy:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This day can be organized from 1 to 8 people, ask your destination expert. <\/em><\/p>\n

Your expert guide of Savoy welcomes you at your hotel in the Chamb\u00e9ry area, for a full-day exploration of the Savoie wines and terroir.<\/p>\n

Chamb\u00e9ry is located right in the heart of the French Alps, easily reachable from Geneva or Lyon. The city has been the historical capital of the Savoy region since the 13th-century<\/p>\n

\u200bPresentation of the Savoy wines<\/u><\/p>\n

In the Alps, the age old vineyards that cover the foothills of the spectacular mountain ranges are producing rare wines which are now considered to be amongst the best in France.<\/p>\n

Savoy holds the record for the number of grape varieties (23) and Crus (22) in respect of the surface of the vineyards. Eight of our grape varieties are unique to Savoy which produce all types of wine and became the 8th Cremant from France in 2014.<\/p>\n

In 2000 the world Sommelier Convention took place in Savoy as well as the national graduate oenologist congress in 2006. In 2008, one of our partners was voted as being one of the best fifteen wine producers in France by the prestigious wine guide Bettane and Desseauve and were awarded a special distinction in 2009. The 25 wine tasters of the famous American wine guide Parker have referenced the Savoy wines… Their comment was \u201cone of the best value for money in the world\u201d<\/p>\n

Savoy is also the premier region in France for producing grafted vine plants of the highest quality.<\/p>\n
