Valençay (French pronunciation: [valɑ̃sɛ] ^ⓘ) is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for wine in the upper Loire Valley wine region in France, located in the Touraine subregion. The vineyards of Valençay, a town known for its cheeses, have held AOC status since November 2003,^{[citation needed]} making it the only place in France to have an appellation for both wine and cheese.^[1] It previously had VDQS status since 1970.^[2]^{[additional citation(s) needed]}

The vineyards lie on sloping hillsides on the left bank of the river Cher, in south-east Touraine. A range of grape varieties are grown here, but Sauvignon blanc is the main white variety, while Gamay is the main red variety.
