Visit Champagne with our luxurious Exclusive Champagne break

At a glance

Trip Summary

On day two, you will be met at the hotel by a luxury chauffeured MPV (a Mercedes E or S Class), which will accompany you throughout the day on a private basis. The day will start in style as you will be welcomed as the guest of a prestigious Champagne House for a full tour of the estate followed by a tasting of their Champagne. There are several options subject to your preference and availabilities, including Mercier, GH Mumm, Pommery, Ruinart, Taittinger, Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. Please note that a number of the more exclusive estates do not tend to receive visitors at weekends and some of them do not receive visitors at all. We would be pleased to discuss the various options with you and contact the individual estates accordingly.

After the tour, you will be taken on a private river cruise on the lovely Marne River in a beautiful vintage wooden cruiser. This is a great way to experience the vineyards from a different perspective and see local sights such as The De Castellane tower and the locks and dams in Cumières. A picnic lunch will be served on board with a bottle of Champagne.

The afternoon will consist of a visit to a small, family-run Champagne House for a tour of the fascinating Champagne-making process from press to bottle and the opportunity to learn the Napoleonic art of Sabrage (opening a bottle with a sabre). You will be taken back to your hotel at the end of the day.

The evening will be free for you to do as you please. We will provide you with a list of recommended restaurants in the area as part of your travel pack and we would be pleased to reserve you a table at any of these for dinner.

The four day break includes a private chauffeured luxury vehicle for a second full day and tours and tastings at another three of your preferred Champagne Houses.

After a leisurely breakfast, check out of the hotel and begin your journey home at your own pace.
