On Champagne Avenue, you’ll see the capital of Champagne where some of the most prestigious estates are based (Pol Roger, Perrier Jouët, Mercier, Boizel, Moët & Chandon).
Visit Moët & Chandon, the most famous producer of Champagne, learn about the Champagne making process and enjoy some of the 150 years- old-Cuvee “Brut Imperial”.
Enjoy a moment in the vineyards, with breathtaking views on the UNESCO world’s heritage vines of Champagne and acquire knowledge about the particularities of our “terroir”. You will then explore the village of Hautvillers, the birthplace of Champagne, and visit the church where the famous monk Dom Pérignon is buried.
Then, it’s on to Mareuil-sur-Ay, a typical Champagne House (Le Clos Corbier). After a Champagne quiz, train your nose to identify the different aromas and flavors that can be found in Champagne through an olfactory workshop.
Get competitive as you get to blindly identify 3 different Champagnes from boutique wineries, all while enjoying some local snacks.
After this, it’s time for a regional lunch with paired wines and Champagnes in a fun and family atmosphere. Introduce yourself to local products like baguette, Reims’ ham, regional cheeses, pink biscuit, Ratafia…
Appreciate the charming hillsides of Champagne and peek-behind-the-scenes of a family-run boutique winery. Visit the traditional press, tank room, and cellar of an authentic Champagne grower. Stroll down the cool cellar corridors and glance at the huge number of bottles slowly maturing and enjoy several tastings of their bestseller, “cuvees”.
Afterwards, it’s back to your hotel for the evening.
