In Thônes, the drinks reflect the Alpine traditions and flavors of the Aravis Valley. Local wines from the nearby Savoie region, such as Apremont, Roussette, and light reds like Mondeuse, pair perfectly with the town’s rich cheeses and hearty dishes. For something sparkling, try a glass of Crémant de Savoie, a local sparkling wine made using traditional methods.

Thônes is also known for its alpine liqueurs, like Génépi, an herbal digestif crafted from mountain plants, or chartreuse, a historic herbal liqueur from the nearby region. In winter, cozy up with Vin Chaud (mulled wine) at a local market or après-ski gathering.

Whether enjoyed with a meal, as an aperitif, or by a warm fire after outdoor adventures, the beverages of Thônes offer a true taste of the French Alps and their time-honored traditions.
