Anecdotes about the domain
We cultivate here the art of entertaining by offering the Château for rent for different types of events: a way for us to bring this magical place to life.
The domain's short story
Located 18 km from Tours, ideally situated between Amboise and Chenonceau, the Domaine de Nitray is an authentic Touraine château. Surrounded by a 43-hectare English-style park, this major Renaissance architectural ensemble has been listed as a historic monument since 1947! A winegrowing estate since the 18th century, Château de Nitray produces fine Loire Valley AOC Touraine wines.
The winemaker's pride
Built in tufa stone, with scrolls turned upside down with its dormers and arabesques, the castle of Nitray is characteristic of the Renaissance. You will also notice the date 1516 on the pediment of one of the dormers. In the vineyard, no less than 6 grape varieties are cultivated: Sauvignon, Chenin, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Côt and Grolleau. The vineyard has gradually grown: 6 hectares in 1955 to almost double in 2015.
