Les Sources de Cheverny, Loire Valley, France
Now Open Located in the beautiful vineyards of Cheverny, renowned for producing white wine such as 'Sauvignon' and 'Cabernet Blanc', Les Sources de Cheverny will open its doors with 26 rooms and 23 suites. The hotel's spa will offer the same range of vineyard based treatments and skincare products as its Bordeaux sister property, Les Sources de Caudalie, also owned by Alice and Jerome Tourbier. The quintessential French château will host two restaurants, an organic vegetable garden as well as seven hectares of vineyards planted around the property. The wine experience will not be limited to the property's ideal location as a real wine route will be devised to allow guests to discover the hidden wonders of the region. Close to the hotel, guests will find The Château of Cheverny which was used as a model by Hergé for Marlinspike Hall (Château de Moulinsart in French), which is featured in several Tintin stories. The château has a permanent exhibition dedicated to the most famous of cartoon reporters.
