Wines and spirits Hautes-Pyrénées

When Toy Country decides to become a land of beers, it does so without concession. The style is English, the water comes from the valley, the craftsmanship and the incredible environment. The names of the vintages are inspired by the great sites: cuvée du col du Tourmalet, du pic du Midi, du Cirque de Gavarnie... Amber, brown, white and the amazing IPA form the basis. Special brews: Christmas or spring beers regularly join the troops. You can enjoy a beer at the nicely decorated bar or on the terrace facing the Gave de Gavarnie.

Clos Fardet is the oldest winery in the village of Madiran, which gives it a little extra soul. In 1998, Pascal Savoret took over the reins of this family business. He lovingly watches over his great-grandfather's vat-press, a rarity not found elsewhere. With this manual tool from 1923, he continues to make the main part of his wine making. This is perhaps the secret of his wines, which regularly win prizes and medals in agricultural competitions. The winemaker added white to his range in 2018.

At the foot of the slopes, the Bocadillo leaves a pleasant musical atmosphere: Jazz in all its forms, lounge, funk, but also pop-rock, electro-rock… there are for all tastes! The site is held by Philippe, one of the flagship characters of La Mongie, whose philosophy is simple: everything he does, he does well. A recipe that works because we come here for the atmosphere and for "the fine team" behind the bar!
