This package gives you the exclusive opportunity to experience the real life of a wine-maker and take part in the fascinating harvest. Discover the secrets of the wine-making process and bring unforgettable memories back home.
After settling in at your preferred hotel in the town of Epernay, take a short walk to the grandest of Champagne Houses- Moët and Chandon. Here, your guide will accompany you around the estate and through the extensive cellars. Your visit will conclude with two tastings of vintage Moët Champagnes.
In the morning, you will be met at the hotel by a chauffeured vehicle, which will accompany you throughout the day. You will be welcomed as the guests of a Grand Cru Champagne House on the Côte des Blancs for a unique and exciting day spent as a traditional Champagne harvester. Following a traditional breakfast at the estate, you will be taken out to the vineyards to try your hand at picking the Chardonnay grapes with the harvesting team.
This once-in-a-lifetime activity will allow you to truly immerse yourself in the spirit of the Champenoise people, and will last for around two hours. The harvest is always a time for celebration, and you can rest assured that there will be plenty of opportunities to take a break and raise a glass or two during the course of the activity. Following your time in the vines, you will make your way to the press, where you will have the chance to press those hand-picked grapes, as well as tasting the juice.
The family own a stunning French Château and you will have lunch as their guests in these opulent surroundings. This gastronomic meal will be prepared by the in-house Chef and served with a selection of the Maison’s Champagnes in the Château’s decadent dining room. Your chauffeur will take you back to Epernay at the end of the day.
