Cavistes Indre-Et-Loire

Since 2013, Philou and Jéjé (former sommeliers) have been sharing their passion for wine at one of the best places in Tours to stock up on good bottles. Their selection is highly specialized, and they take care to taste everything! Take the time to chat about your preferences around the central island. They're sure to find something to delight you, with a smile. Exceptional wines from friends, as well as a wide range of spirits. Tastings are organized from time to time, and are always informal. We love it!

Les Belles Caves is the ideal place to stock up your cellar with great wines. The shop at Les Halles is elegant and you are received with great professionalism. The selection is sharp, with wines from the region and from other great French wine regions, to vary the pleasures and to travel from one territory to another. Spirits also have their place, notice to the amateurs. The price range is wide and corresponds to all types of budget. At Belles Caves, it is certain that everyone leaves satisfied!

La Cave Saint-Vincent offers a wide range of wines on a semi-private basis and, for the past few years, a fine selection of craft beers from the Centre region and beyond, as well as spirits and accessories such as whisky stones. Don't hesitate to ask the cellarmen, who will be delighted to guide you according to your tastes and budget. The atmosphere here is relaxed, but the advice is top-notch. Here, we prefer a "warm atmosphere reminiscent of a Lyonnais bouchon rather than an austere academy for wine intellectuals"!

It is difficult to pass through Indre-et-Loire and not be interested in one of the products that have made its history and reputation: wine! Whether it is red, rosé, white, sweet, dry or sparkling, there is bound to be a nectar for your taste buds. And the advice of Éva and Bernard, the new owners since 2023, is precious. They like to share their discoveries and knowledge around aperitif boards or during tasting evenings. A warm place on the waterfront where people like to meet, a must on the Loire à Vélo!

It is in his shop on the rue nationale that Philippe has chosen to share his taste of wine with us. As a true enthusiast, he is inexhaustible on the products he offers since it is he who chooses them with the greatest care. For example, find the particularly topical vintage "Qu'on vide 19" from the Jaulin-Plaisantin estate, wine from the Loire Valley and from all over France, red, white and rosé wines... But also spirits, such as these French whiskies with nice names (Aveux gourmands, Fin de Partie...). With advice as a bonus!

You can find wines from the Loire, the South, Bordeaux, Alsace, Burgundy, and champagnes selected by Thierry from independent producers. A few bottles of rum and whisky are also available for spirits lovers. Don't miss the delicatessen section either, with cold meats and cheeses to accompany your aperitifs and meals. The great plus is that you can stop for lunch in a warm atmosphere, with tasty home-made dishes accompanied by a good glass of wine, of course!

Patrick and Antoine are always available to share their passion with their customers. They offer a wide selection of organic, biodynamic and natural wines. Wines from the Loire, Burgundy, the Rhone Valley, the south of France, but also from Alsace, the Jura, Spain or Italy, there is something for absolutely every palate. The two managers are anxious to present you with the best and since the welcome is particularly friendly, you don't hesitate to ask for advice, you always learn a lot.

Since 2005, Jean-Christophe Laplanche has been one of those who make you love wine just by talking to us. This passionate man loves the land, the winemakers who cultivate it and respect it. The wines selected - because they are the stars - come from a healthy viticulture with respect for the soil and the plant. For example, we can find wines from Francois Chidaine, Fabrice Gasnier… Take pleasure and have emotion around a good wine with people we appreciate, this is a little philosophy of this pleasant house.

Olivier Dubois, a wine merchant with a background in cuisine and sommellerie, welcomes you to his boutique halfway between the train station and Place Jean Jaurès. Of course, you'll want to take a look at the shelves highlighting Loire wines, before discovering other grape varieties such as those from Burgundy, the Rhône Valley or Languedoc... The range continues to evolve, with the pleasure of discovering new marvels from our regions, and a number of rums and whiskies will delight spirits lovers. Tastings and theme evenings are also available.

Behind the town hall, La Cabane à Vin is a great address if you're looking for the Holy Grail of Loire Valley and French wines. But it also offers a wide selection of craft beers, juices and even local kefir and kombucha. To be enjoyed with a plank or aperitif, including cheeses, sausages, rillettes and Loire fishermen's terrines. A "guarantee of quality" establishment where you can share your passion for good wines and listen to the secrets of wine-making from manager Émilie Riopel. Wines available from the online boutique. Dining room upstairs.

In this contemporary and neat place managed by Christophe Garnier, three main poles emerge. A cellar with more than 300 references of wines from the Loire Valley and the whole of France, but also some spirits and beers; a wine bar with several formulas that allow you to taste several beverages accompanied by a board of cold meats, cheeses and desserts; finally, a place of sharing for companies and individuals who wish to meet in "Afterwork" mode. The brand also supplies catering professionals.

Welcome to this beautiful, airy, bright and chic boutique. It offers nearly 700 references of wines, mainly from the Loire Valley, and 50 references from several regions of France. The manager, Jean-Michel, is a real ambassador of Loire wines. From Quincy, to Chinon, through Vouvray... Red, white, rosé... All colors and all formats, there is something for everyone! Here, the bottle is a treasure that we put in value and sometimes behind a window. You can also discover a selection of spirits.

New to Amboise, this address is well on the way to becoming a must in the region. Sébastien previously worked as a sommelier in Michelin-starred restaurants, so he knows what he's talking about. He's a sharp, sharp wine merchant who knows exactly what he's talking about, because he tastes everything! In this conventional, organic and natural wine cellar and wine bar, he offers professional advice and a selection of wines from the Loire Valley and the rest of France, as well as charcuterie and cheeses. We love the friendly, lively welcome!

A geographer by training and a great travel enthusiast, Julien Paturaud had the opportunity to travel the world by designing hiking tours in Italy or even Croatia. But it is finally in Joué-lès-Tours that he realized another dream: to become a wine merchant. His charming store, ideally located in the city of Joué, offers a wide variety of wines from all the major French wine regions. You will also find a nice range of spirits, champagne and bubbles. Don't hesitate to go and see the place and talk to the owner. For Julien, the important thing is to discover and meet people. A beautiful philosophy.

Silenas are pretty little pink or white wild flowers found on the Beaumont-en-Véron plateau. This is where Domaine Charles Joguet is located. In the cellar, you'll find direct sales of Domaine Charles Joguet wines, as well as a selection of Loire and international wines. The wine bar offers a selection of 16 glasses and bottles to discover over a plate or bruschetta. Wine tourism is also on the agenda, with dinner in a tuffeau cellar and walks in the vineyards: every experience is memorable.
