Tasting of Vendée ham at the Atelier du Goût
Limited production: like most regions, the Vendée has seen a sharp decline in the number of artisan butchers. As a result, there are now only four producers of Vendée ham to supply the 1,150 tons produced annually.

Summer wines: 5 Loire whites
1000 km. That's the length of the river we invite you to follow in just five bottles. So we had to choose and leave the wines of Auvergne and Vendée on the bank. The journey begins in central France and follows the course of the river to Muscadet, just outside Nantes. Here we come across Sauvignon, Chenin and Melon B grapes (no longer called Melon de Bourgogne, it was confusing). What all these wines have in common is their fresh, easy-to-digest character, which makes them ideal for summer drinking.
