AboutInto The Vine
Explore behind the scenes of our wine tourism adventure in the heart of Muscadet.
An adventure born from passion for wine and local produce
At Into The Vine, everything starts with a deep love for the vine, the Muscadet landscapes, and the richness of human encounters.
I created these tours to give you a behind-the-scenes look at local winemaking, through wine tastings in and around Nantes. Far from the typical tourist routes, I prioritize authenticity, interaction, and respect for the land.
Engaged wine estates, a friendly experience
Our wine tours take you to Organic or biodynamique and comitted wine estates, up close with the winemakers. Tastings in the vineyards or cellars, authentic exchanges and an intimate atmosphere in small groups (4 to 8 people). A human and sensory experience, to discover Muscadet in a different way.
The person behind Into The Vine
My name is Gaëlleand I am passionate about wine, terroir and authentic encounters. By settling in Nantes, I discovered the human and natural richness of the region's vineyards, which immediately inspired me.
Trained in wine tourism, gastronomy and oenology, I have had the opportunity to work in several wine estates, both in France and abroad. These experiences have enriched my understanding of the world of wine and strengthened my desire to share it.
With Into The Vine, I am committed to offering sincere, friendly and respectful of life, where each tasting becomes a real moment of connection between visitors and winemakers.
We take care of everything, you just enjoy the moment

Half day tour
We had an unforgettable half-day! Everything was perfectly organized, from the magnificent scenery to the tastings at passionate wineries. Special mention for the charcuterie board: simple but delicious. We left with our heads full of memories… and a few bottles in the trunk!
John
Full day tour
We opted for the full-day package, and it was even better than we imagined. The vineyards we visited were all different and very welcoming. The country-style buffet at the winemaker's was the icing on the cake. Thank you for this timeless experience.

I organized a private event for my sister's bachelorette party, and it was a huge success! We were able to choose the venues, the lunch menu, everything went incredibly smoothly. It was a unique, friendly, cultural, and fun activity. The whole group loved it, we highly recommend it.
