Loire wine history
 
 

 
Vines already existed when Romans invaded the Loire Valley.

The legend says that Saint Martin was the first to make wine in the Loire region. It was in 380.

The wine production then grew fast. In both river banks, wine makers made white wine. On the hills, they went for red wine.

Such as in Burgundy, most of the vineyards belong to monasteries and monks had developed the wine production in the whole region.
