The Journey
Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Ruinart, Taittinger, or Pommery Cellars
Descend into the legendary cellars of a prestigious Champagne house – perhaps Veuve Clicquot, celebrated for its bold yellow label and innovative spirit; Moët & Chandon, synonymous with luxury and grand celebrations; Ruinart, the oldest Champagne house, famed for its Chardonnay dominance; Taittinger, a family-run estate known for its elegant Comtes de Champagne; or Pommery, with its distinctive Victorian-era cellars. Experience an exclusive cellar tour and tasting, immersing yourself in the history, craftsmanship, and exceptional flavors that define these iconic Champagne brands.
Reims Cathedral
Visit the magnificent Reims Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims), a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. For centuries, this sacred space served as the coronation church for French kings, steeped in history and regal significance. Marvel at the stunning stained glass windows, intricate sculptures, and soaring arches, and imagine the grandeur of royal coronations that once filled this hallowed hall.
Le Bellevue (Royal Champagne Hotel) or Le Jardin des Crayères
Indulge in a delightful culinary experience at either Le Bellevue within the luxurious Royal Champagne Hotel, offering panoramic vineyard views and refined French cuisine, or Le Jardin des Crayères, a restaurant located in the equally splendid Les Crayères manor, offering exquisite fine dining. Savor the flavors of the Champagne region, complemented by impeccable service and an elegant ambiance, for a truly memorable gastronomic interlude. (Please note that lunch is ordered and paid for directly at the chosen restaurant).
High-Level Family Estate (Reims or Epernay)
Venture beyond the grand marques and discover the artistry of a high-level family-owned Champagne estate, nestled in the heart of the Reims or Épernay region. Embark on an intimate tour of the vineyards and cellars, learning about the traditional methods and meticulous craftsmanship that go into producing exceptional Champagne. Enjoy a private tasting, savoring the unique character and finesse of these handcrafted wines, and gaining a deeper appreciation for the passion and dedication of the family behind them.
Dom Pérignon's Grave
Pay homage to the 'father of Champagne,' Dom Pierre Pérignon, at his final resting place. Reflect on the legacy of this Benedictine monk, whose pioneering work in winemaking revolutionized the Champagne region and created the world's most celebrated sparkling wine. Visit the site where his vision took root, connecting with the history and tradition that continue to shape the Champagne experience today. Although simple, it marks the resting place of one of the most important contributors to the Champagne region.
