Answer 1

You are going to the right place. You'll find these 3 things in abundance. See if you can visit a vinyard. The architectural attractions will be self-evident.

Answer 2

Hi! I lived in Tours for almost 5 years. You won't have any problem to find good restaurants there, especially in two places: the streets around the "Place Plumereau" and in the district closed to the Cathedral. It's a must to drink Loire Valley wine, generally quite fruity and less "rough" than a Bordeaux. There're many different ones, my favourites are St Nicolas de Bourgueil for the red wines, and Sancerre for the white ones. I advise you to visit a wine yard in Vouvray, very closed to Tours. Tours is obviously the best place to start a visit of the castles of this region. If you have to chose, the most interesting are Chenonceau, Amboise, Loche and Chinon. Amboise, Loche and Chinon are also very nice small towns, worth staying a few hours in. Otherwise, in Tours itself, you may enjoy a walk by night in the old town around the "Place Plumereau". I advise you to go to the tourism office in front of the main train station, on the opposite side of the big place, to get much info.

Hope you'll enjoy Tours!

Bye
