Regional products : a feast for the palate…

Tasting Touraine rillons (tender pork morsels), savouring a Vouvrillon biscuit, drinking a glass of fine local sparkling. Filling your basket with organic veg or dairy products from our farms – what simple but satisfying pleasures !

Seek out our gastronomic stops and discover the culinary products that define our area. Moreover, our terroir, our local know-how, are to be found in local crafts.

Often refined, they reflect the spirit of their creators. In fact, in the Montlouis-Vouvray area, our craftspeople excel in pottery, ceramics and fine blown glass in particular.
