Wines and spirits Poitou-Charentes

Brasserie de Bellefois, a historic brewery in the Vienne region, continues to tantalize the taste buds. Ideally located, its Brew Pub, a bar beautifully decorated in wood and metal, is the perfect place to enjoy tapas or a plank, a dish from the nearby foodtruck, watch a match broadcast or a concert and, of course, enjoy a Neuville beer. Bellefois is constantly expanding its range of seasonal beers, IPAs and organic beers, all of which can be found in the boutique. For the curious, tours of the brewery are available by appointment for groups of 10 or more.

It is in the pretty village of Salles that the Weasel of the Brasserie du Val de Sèvre is hiding. On the labels of the beverages, she poses, not without humor. In this micro-brewery, David Ollivier will only offer you organic beers, produced with barley from Poitou-Charentes, hops from the Vendée and sometimes even from the rooms, since the brewery has its own hop field. As for the taste, La Belette remains traditional. The brewer produces and bottles on the spot.

It's a jewel of our heritage, a testament to medieval architecture (^12th and ^13th centuries).

Listed as a historic monument and winner of the Heritage Lottery, the fortress stands amidst the vines. Owned by Sandra and Gilles Colinet, it is currently being restored in an eco-responsible manner. The 13-hectare vineyard is farmed organically. Its exceptional tuffeau terroir enables it to produce wines of ageing potential and character, which are expressed under the Saumur and Saumur Puy-notre-dame appellations.

This delicatessen is located a stone's throw from the Clock Tower and the Citadel. This is the place to take a quick and refreshing break between your wanderings from one district to another, to nibble on boards, salads, homemade sandwiches, deliciously steaming hot dishes and desserts. You can have a drink and buy wine to accompany portions of refined charcuterie, baskets filled with delicacies, cheeses and goodies to discover as they arrive. La petite cantine des bons vivants: attention, only good products!

Winemaker for six generations, Damien Robert perpetuates the family tradition and takes care of the Domaine du Grand Clos. After his studies, in 2003, he took over the family estate from his father. Sabrina, his wife, joined him in 2007. The estate is located in the Saumur PDO. Labeled High Environmental Value, the vines cover 30 hectares with a majority of Cabernet Franc and Chenin. The domain benefits from troglodytic cellars covering nearly 5,000 m², an ideal place for storage and preservation.

This restaurant offers a unique menu that changes daily, with dishes from France and beyond. It is housed in a carefully selected wine cellar. The restaurant does not offer takeaway or delivery service.
