Gourmet walks

Products made in Île de Ré are plentiful. If you’d like to take home some gourmet memories, why not take one of the tours below? Île de Ré boasts 650 hectares of vineyards.

This is one of the reasons why the Coopérative des Vignerons was created in 1951 in Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré. It’s open all year round, especially for free tastings in the cellar. The Cooperative offers a range of wines, cognacs and pineaux. In July and August, you can enjoy a free guided tour of the cellar, barrel cellar and distillery. Finish your tour with a free tasting of the various spirits in the cellar.

Ré beer

Bière de Ré was created in 1996 by an Austrian Master Brewer. When you’re on the Ile de Ré, don’t hesitate to stop off at the Bières de Ré “Boutique Brasserie”.

Located in the village of Sainte-Marie and open all year round. You’ll discover several types of craft beer: white, amber, blonde, déferlantes… as well as the different traditional brewing techniques and ingredients used.

L’abeille de Ré honey house

If you’re a nature and produce lover, the Miellerie l’abeille de Ré is the place for you! The small beekeeping business is located in the artisan village of Loix and is open all year round.

In addition to the many products you can buy in the store, why not take a guided or self-guided tour (with explanatory panels) of the honey house and workshop, to learn all about the secrets of the beekeeping trade and understand our friends the bees.

Children are also honored, with a variety of workshops on offer.

Finally, to become an expert on the subject, take part in a “beehive walk”, during which you’ll put yourself in the shoes of a beekeeper.
