Château De Pintray

Set among the vineyards of Montlouis-sur-Loire, Château de Pintray offers a tranquil Loire Valley escape where winemaking, history, and warm hospitality come together. Located just minutes from Amboise, this family-run estate blends rural calm with easy access to the region’s cultural landmarks, making it an ideal retreat for wine lovers and travelers seeking authenticity. The château features five guest rooms, including two family suites, each overlooking parkland or vines. Interiors preserve historic character through antique furniture, exposed beams, and stained glass, while modern comforts ensure a relaxed stay. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, reflecting the feel of a lived-in family home rather than a formal hotel. The estate’s 5.5-hectare organic vineyard, certified since 2015, produces AOC Montlouis-sur-Loire and AOC Touraine wines from Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Cabernet Franc. Guests can join guided tastings and cellar visits to learn about the vineyard’s biodiverse approach and sample sparkling, dry, semi-dry, and sweet expressions that reflect the region’s limestone soils and cool climate. Workshops provide a deeper look into viticulture and the local terroir. Breakfast is served in the dining room with stained glass windows facing the garden, featuring local breads, cheeses, seasonal produce, and homemade preserves. While there is no on-site restaurant, the region offers excellent dining options in nearby villages and in Amboise. The estate is well positioned for cycling routes, vineyard drives, and visits to landmarks such as Château d’Amboise, Chenonceau, and Clos Lucé. The calm setting also makes the château a picturesque venue for intimate weddings and celebrations, supported by a family team attentive to detail. Located in Lussault-sur-Loire, Château de Pintray offers a peaceful base to explore the Loire Valley while staying connected to the land, its wines, and its cultural heritage.
