Château de Valmer, Renaissance château and winery in Loire Valley, France.

The gardens of Château de Valmer extend across eight terraced levels, spanning 30 meters in height with fountains, statues, and Mediterranean plants.

The primary castle structure, dating from the Renaissance period, burned down in 1948, leaving the smaller Petit Valmer building from 1647 as the main residence.

The estate maintains a collection of ancient grape varieties and produces Vouvray wines in limestone caves that date back to the 15th century.

Visitors can explore the gardens and schedule wine tastings from April through September, Wednesday to Sunday between 14:00 and 19:00.

The property features a rare troglodytic chapel carved into the rock in 1524, combining religious architecture with the regional limestone building tradition.
