About Caves Ambacia

The Discovery tour costs 25 euros and ends with six wines paired with food; private Odyssey tours (69 euros, 1.5 hours, or 89 euros with a barrel tasting) go deeper into the collection. The on-site bistro L'Oppidum serves Loire farm-to-table plates all year, and the caves are a 20 minute walk from Amboise station.
