Cavistes Pays de Chinon

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.

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!

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.

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.

Another cellar is a sort of temple of oenology in Saint-Benoît-la-Forêt. Thierry Truffert shares his passion for wine and also has the mission of finding future wine talents. One can come there to buy wine, to exchange, to participate in gourmet tastings and other more specialized thematic evenings. The place is also a place of training where you can learn wine tasting techniques. Without forgetting the reception of seminars and of those who would like to take advantage of it to settle down in lodging or room within the framework of a oenological stay.

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.
