Contact UsWe were delighted when triple Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement of L’Assiette Champenoise was awarded the coveted title, “Chef of the Year 2014” by every gastronomy lover’s bible, the Gault et Milau restaurant guide. Staying at Monsieur Lallement’s 5* hotel in Reims, Grape Escapes guests will enjoy a luxurious level of service at the hotel as well as a gastronomic dinner in his award-winning restaurant. Please note that drinks have not been included as part of the journey of gastronomic discovery.
On day two, you will be met at the hotel by a luxury chauffeur-driven vehicle, which will accompany you throughout the day on a private basis. The day will commence with a visit to a small, family-run Grand Cru Champagne House for a tour of the fascinating Champagne-making process from press to bottle and tastings of three to five Champagnes, including vintage Champagne
During the course of the day, you will also be taken to the beautiful village of Hautvillers, where Dom Pérignon lived and is buried for a comparative tasting session of three single varietal Champagnes and a platter of gourmet local delicacies. To add to the gourmet aspect of the tour, you will visit a medium-sized co-operative, which produces excellent quality Champagnes from the Vallée de la Marne. Here, you will discover Champagne production on a more industrial scale, and your tour will conclude with a delicious Champagne and chocolate pairing experience. Finally, you will visit the largest and grandest Champagne House, Moët and Chandon, where you will have an exclusive Dom Pérignon tour. You will be visiting some of the oldest areas of the cellars which are seldom visited by the public and a tasting of Dom Pérignon will conclude the visit in an elegant reception room at the Moët mansion. The highlight of the trip will undoubtedly be the gala dinner at Monisuer Lallement’s triple Michelin- restaurant in the hotel.

I just wanted to send a note to say what a wonderful trip I experienced in Champagne. The itinerary was great, everything was in order from start to finish. I would say that dinner at l’Assiette Champenoise was absolutely stunning. I would recommend Grape Escapes to anyone travelling to wine regions in Europe.
