Description of the walk

Park in Quincé, at the Domaine de la Gonorderie.

(S/E) Take Rue de la Gonorderie opposite, pass the gendarmerie and continue to the junction with Rue des Genets.

(1) Turn right onto the wide path and follow the vineyards. Before the Gâchetière buildings, turn left between the vineyards, then, at the edge, turn right twice to reach the large oak tree, which is clearly visible, and the rest area.

(2) Take the path again and stay opposite, at the edge of the vineyard, to reach a crossroads with a dirt track.

(3) Turn left onto the small dirt track, typical of the Anjou wine-growing region. Wind your way through the vineyards and return to the crossroads you passed on the way there.

(1) Turn right, in the opposite direction, and follow the same route you took on the way there to return to the car park at Domaine de la Gonorderie (S/E).

Notes

Discover the Domaine de la Gonorderie on a bucolic walk through the vineyards in the heart of Anjou. This easy, accessible hike immerses you in the world of a family-run vineyard committed to sustainable viticulture and in the process of converting to organic farming.
Along the way, let yourself be carried away by the landscapes of schist, clay and limestone, while discovering the human values that animate the estate: craftsmanship, conviviality, independence and transmission.
A treasure hunt has also been specially designed for children, allowing them to discover the vineyard while having fun with riddles and observations, for a playful family outing.
Ideal for lovers of wine, nature and living heritage.

Worth a visit

(2) The rest area: in the shade of an old oak tree, a table has been set up so you can take a peaceful break in the heart of the vineyards. Take the time to listen to the wind in the leaves, observe the vines around you, and why not share a convivial moment with your family? It's also an opportunity for children to progress in their treasure hunt between sips of fresh water.
Between (3) and (1) Keep your eyes peeled: nature is discreet but abundant here.
(E) Domaine de la Gonorderie: we look forward to welcoming you to discuss our profession, our history and our commitment to sustainable viticulture. You will then be able to discover our wines and the fruits of our labour. It is also an opportunity to ask questions or simply savour the moment.
