Exclusive Bollinger tour and tasting in Epernay

At a glance

Trip Summary

After breakfast on day two of your trip, a pre-paid taxi will collect you from your hotel and whisk you to Champagne Bollinger, in nearby Ay. Be one of the few to experience an exclusive tour at Bollinger, where your guide will regale you with the history of the Maison, as it steered its way through the turmoil of two World Wars, retained the Royal Warrant from the Court of England and became 007’s bubbles of choice. You will taste three different Bollinger Champagnes and come to understand the unique characteristics of this Champagne.  After such a fabulous tour, your taxi will then take you to the famous village of Hautvillers, the “cradle of Champagne”. As well as having time to admire the spectacular views across the vineyards and visit the Church where Dom Pérignon is buried, a comparative tasting session of three single varietal Champagnes will take place in a quaint tasting boutique in the village. A light lunch of cheeses and gourmet local delicacies will also be served.

At the end of the tour, your taxi will take you back to Epernay, where the evening is free to do as you wish. We would be happy to suggest a restaurant for dinner.

As with all our tours, we can offer a whole range of exclusive visits and this itinerary can be completely tailor-made to suit your exact requirements. For example, arrive in style at Champagne Bollinger, as Patsy and Edina did in Absolutely Champers, in a beautiful vintage wooden cruiser. You could even dine as the estate’s private guests in the opulent dining room, which was also featured in the Ab Fab documentary. The perfect romantic evening or get together with friends and family.
