Chateau des Allues — Restaurant in Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny

Château des Allues isn't a wine estate in the classic sense: it's a spectacular 16th-century castle in the middle of the Combe de Savoie, serving as a guest house and restaurant, surrounded by vineyards. Restaurant La Chapelle is housed in the castle's old chapel: an intimate place to eat with character. Local produce, Savoyard cooking and, of course, Savoie wines. The castle no longer makes wine itself, but it sits right in the middle of one of the best wine areas of Savoie: the vineyard of Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte is literally on the doorstep. An ideal base for a drive past Domaine Genoux in Arbin and Domaine Dupasquier in Jongieux.
