Cavistes Châteaux de la 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!

A true wine enthusiast, Cédric Galisson puts all his love into finding you the nugget that will make you succumb. In the cellar, you'll find carefully selected skittles at all prices and to suit all tastes. At the bar, too, Cédric will be delighted to advise you. To accompany your nectar, you won't want to miss a delicious platter of charcuterie or cheese, all from the Saumur region, of course. The emphasis here is on simplicity and conviviality. Love at first sight guaranteed.

The first Trésors de Bacchus were created in Sancerre and then in Saint-Aignan to market the wines of the Villebois vineyards. Very quickly these cellars opened up to the productions of other winegrowers and today they offer a very wide choice of wines from all regions of France. If the emphasis is rightly placed on Loire wines, other vineyards are honored with carefully selected and monitored vintages thanks to control tastings throughout the year. Beautiful cellars full of treasures.

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"!

From now on, the Ange Vins Cave merges with the restaurant Ver di Vin! It is well understood that these two emanations operate in the celestial, as well as the wine from here and in what bottles! It is good to say that Sabine Brochard is a sommelier of high standing and beautiful flight. Having studied at the Tour d'Argent and at Guy Savoy, she offers us wine rarities from the Loire, Alsace, Burgundy... only the best. Pure malt whisky or port wine are also waiting on the shelf. In short, a beautiful world... it flows..

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!

A pioneer of its kind, which has recently been imitated by other Franchises, V & B has attracted a clientele of beautiful alcoholic beverages, but does not necessarily frequent the downtown places in downtown: Meet friends at the end of the day at the time of the aperitif, thematic evenings from time to time, while enjoying one of the 300 beers in a long row in the family. So beer (Belgian, German, Irish, French…), but also a huge choice of wines from all regions and countries. V & B also rent the beer pumps for private evenings. The board is the one of passionate professionals and professionals who can guide you on bottles depending on your tastes and menus. An excellent address, and no problem for parking!

Rural Services clearly hides its game! Not only has it been an oasis for almost 40 years, it also has a ready-to-wear shop, a pet shop and… a genuine wine cellar. With nearly 500 references of French and foreign wines, and no less than 250 references of whiskies, make two stone here: étoffer your garden and the shelves of your cellar! In addition, glassware and the wine-making articles complement the happy stalls served by a dedicated staff.

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.

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.

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.

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.
