She too fell in love with Amboise, La Cave and Summer. Needless to say, we drank wine and talked for hours. In 2018, I decided to propose to my girlfriend and I wanted it to be in Amboise. With the help of Summer and Louisa, it was the most amazing proposal at Chateau Montdomaine. Summer and Louisa went above and beyond. I have been back to the Amboise several times and always stop by La Cave where I am greeted like family with hugs and wine!!! I even got to help decorate the shop for Christmas last year. In summary, if you want to feel at home, try some great wine (make sure you take some home) and make some friends, definitely stop by La Cave!!!!

Nice selection of appetizers and desserts, including ice cream, too. Of course, wine..You can choose from a limited number of selections by the glass or carafe but if you want more options, it seems you to the next room where the retail wine sales take place, choose your bottle and for an extra 8E they will allow you to enjoy it during your meal. Service was rushed at lunchtime on a summer weekday, when Fontevraud is overrun by bikers and Abbaye visitors dominating the small local restaurants. English was spoken but French very helpful if you want additional details before you order. Nice, they put out good and simple classics but try going during off-hours and off-season.
