HISTORY & ORIGIN
Nivers embodies, above all, a personal quest, a deep exploration of the pleasure of savoring.
​
Since adulthood, I have been learning in tasting clubs, capturing the richness of exquisite beverages, delving into the history of these elixirs, often woven with the passion and commitment of the men and women who cultivate and craft their products with expertise and passion.
​
Throughout my culinary journeys, I came to realize that there was a missing non-alcoholic beverage worthy of fine dining tables, capable of offering new gustatory perspectives while respecting the essence of the culinary journey.
A beverage that could delight wine enthusiasts while providing a high-quality offer for those who prefer to abstain from alcohol at the table.
​
I was inspired to create a range imbued with flavors and authenticity, exploring new horizons by partnering with our most precious asset: nature and its botanical richness. Nivers is the result of months of exploring new taste nuances to provide unexpected alcohol-free pairings with the finest culinary dishes, creating a culinary symphony that surprises the palate.
​
What guides me every day is the desire to contribute to the culinary journey experienced by the guests of an establishment.
​
In 2023, Nivers begins with three botanical signatures that I look forward to sharing with you."

Nivers is the story of a bold human adventure led by two passionate foodies: Manon and Nicolas.
Beyond their expertise, it was a mission that brought them together: to offer new tasting experiences during meals.
The adventure began in 2021 with Nicolas, a lover of fine wines and an enlightened taster, who found the alcohol-free dining experience disappointing. He decided to move away from wine, which he loves, to create three unique plant-based signature drinks in 2023.
Manon was immediately won over. An epicurean at heart, she believes in the unique and delicious pairings between food and Nivers. She decided to join Nicolas and is passionately committed to this new approach to tasting!
