Ever fantasized about basking in the grandeur of Champagne tasting in the unique region where it’s authentically made? I am here to make that dream come true with memorable visits to two respected Boutique Champagne Growers!
Our journey will navigate around the areas of Reims and Epernay (famous for its globally recognized Champagne Avenue), home to renowned Champagne Houses. We’ll discuss the intricacy of the industry and various production techniques. Monuments like Reims Notre-Dame will add cultural richness to our experience as we explore the history of Dom Pérignon, setting foot in the church where he lies in Hautvillers.
In selecting the Champagne manufacturers to visit, I emphasize on family-owned businesses that cherish their traditions and the quality of their yield. Each vineyard possesses a unique style, some favoring Pinot noir, some aging in oak, while others specialize in unique Rosé varieties… Their culture will captivate you, as they share their passion that makes Champagne exceptional.
I am not only a certified History guide but also an enthusiastic Sommelier student!
