Wines and spirits Tain-L'Hermitage

The Cave coopérative de Tain is a benchmark for pleasure and oenology. Established since 1933, at the foot of the famous Hermitage hill, the Cave de Tain, leading producer of the northern crus (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Péray), has been awarded the Vignobles et Découvertes and Vignerons engagés labels. Its wines, which respect terroirs and biodiversity, are recognized the world over for their excellence. On-site advice and tasting. A second Cave de Tain boutique has opened opposite La Cité du Chocolat.

The house has existed since 1884. It is one of the region's must-see places! Today, the Vineum of Domaines Paul Jaboulet Ainé is at the same time a cellar, a tasting room, a wine bar and a restaurant. At the foot of the Hermitage hill, it is a delicious and warm address. You are here in a wine fief where the Jaboulet house has been working for more than two centuries in the respect of the vine and which offers a table full of flavours.

It is an institution! The origins of the estate date back to 1808. Today, the seventh generation of Chapoutier is at the helm. Even if this estate remains the most important producer of Hermitage, it has diversified towards other regions. Little by little, the vineyard has been transformed into a biodynamic culture. This truculent winemaker was also a pioneer in the translation of labels into Braille... Chapoutier exports all over the world. The plus : it is also a school with oenology courses and initiation to wine tasting.

A space of more than 200 m², dedicated to wines and spirits and other beverages from all regions of France. You will also find a selection of wines from around the world for great taste discoveries. A warm atmosphere and precious wine advice with a range accessible to all! A large choice with more than 500 wine references. The cellar also offers a space dedicated to regional products, a small tasting area, as well as a Tableware area. Regular events such as wine tasting evenings.

Fabien Louis runs this space for aesthetes, offering a complete address: wine shop, wine bar, boutique and events in the vineyards... For example, you can take a ride through the vineyards in a vintage VW combi, with a tasting of three wines and a selection of cheeses and charcuterie. Another option: an aperitif dinner in the vineyards on the little vineyard train. And you'll learn all about traditional hillside viticulture, terroirs, grape varieties and more.

This is the second Cave de Tain boutique. It occupies a strategic position opposite the Cité du Chocolat, another hedonistic address. The store occupies an old house, offering a vast, luminous sales space. Dedicated to Cave de Tain wines, it features the prestigious appellations from both sides of the Rhône, including Hermitage, as well as affordable vins de pays from the Collines Rhodaniennes. Excellent welcome and friendly advice.
