Land of iconic and distinctive champagne houses, historic chalk soils, and deep cellars carved into the landscape — a region shaped by history and protected over time.
We will learn about the region, the making of champagne, and the Houses' styles. We will visit the elegant Épernay, walk the Avenue de Champagne and visit historic houses, with meals and tastings that place production methods and history into context. We will walk through Aÿ and Hautvillers, where Champagne was born. The visit would not be complete without the majestic and vibrant Reims — its iconic champagne houses and cathedral.
