La Vinotek

The wine bar of Châtel-Saint-Denis

Coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening, a board to share with friends. People come to La Vinotek for the wine… and stay for the good time.

Avenue de la Gare 38 · Châtel-Saint-Denis

Open Tuesday to Saturday

Patrick's waiting for you at the bar

There are places where you go for a drink. And then there are places where you end up knowing the owner. At La Vinotek, Patrick welcomes you at his bar, suggests a bottle, remembers what you like and, above all, enjoys sharing a good time with his guests.

A good bottle, good advice, and above all a good time.

The atmosphere is great, the owner is welcoming, always smiling and incredibly helpful. I recommend going there for an apéro with a good sharing board — it's excellent.
