Fancy a friendly break, discovering local flavours or simply enjoying a good time?
The Vendômois region is full of welcoming places to have a drink, from lively village cafés to intimate wine bars and terraces along the banks of the Loir.
Whether you’re a fan of characterful wines, craft beers or non-alcoholic drinks, you’ll find places here where a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere are always guaranteed.
For a change of scenery and a taste of nature, we recommend the Salon de Thé du Jardin du Plessis Sasnières, where you can enjoy tea and pastries at the end of your garden tour in a peaceful setting, or Au Gâteau in Montoire-sur-le Loir, which offers a cosy atmosphere with sweet treats to nibble on. In the Perche Vendômois region, in Boursay, the Café Galerie combines art and local beer tasting, while at the Fournil de Lavardin, at the foot of the Lavardin fortress, you can enjoy a coffee or hot drink while taking in the heritage setting.
Lovers of local produce can discover the Brasserie La Bout’ in Boursay or Les 3 Marches in Montoire-sur-le Loir, which offer artisanal specialities and quality products to enjoy on site.
For those who prefer bars and terraces, the Saint-Georges offers an exotic setting, which is even more magical in the evening. At the Hôtel Vendôme or the Mercator, you can stop for a break on the terrace.
There is no shortage of musical and festive moments. At the Loup Perché, you can enjoy a local drink while taking part in games and entertainment or even concerts.
In season, the guinguettes (open-air cafés) in Lunay and Trôo are the perfect place to sip a drink on the banks of the Loir in a friendly and festive atmosphere.
Finally, the Vendôme winegrowers offer tours of their estates and wine tastings for an authentic and indulgent experience.
Please note that alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, so drink in moderation.
