In Champtoceaux / Orée-d’Anjou, the La Luce boat offers several cruises where tasting is incorporated into the journey along the Loire. In 2026, aperitif cruises bring local winegrowers aboard to present their wines for around 1 hour 30 minutes.
Which option should you choose?
The Aperitif cruise is advertised at €26 per adult in 2026. Depending on the date, the tasting notably features Muscadet, Malvoisie or Cru Champtoceaux. Other formats are available, such as La Dérive, lasting around 2 hours with snacks and a drink, or certain outings linked to Loire produce.
Where do you board?
Departure is from the locality of Le Cul du Moulin, Champtoceaux, 49270 Orée-d’Anjou, at the foot of the hillside overlooking the Loire.
Good to know before booking
Food and drink cruises are scheduled on fixed dates and the guest winegrower changes between evenings. Not every La Luce trip therefore includes a tasting: check the theme carefully before booking.
A little something extra
The landscape is particularly spectacular: the cruise takes place below the Champtoceaux hillsides, with wines produced in the same area. The combination of the Loire, vineyards and a meeting with the producer gives the tasting real meaning.
