Based at the quaint 4* boutique hotel Jean Moët in the centre of Epernay, check into your Superior room on the afternoon of day one, and a pre-booked and pre-paid taxi will take you out into the vineyards. Here, you will visit a small, family-run producer of Champagnes for enjoy a tour of the fascinating Champagne making process from press to bottle, and tastings of five Champagnes, including a vintage Champagne. After returning to Epernay, an extensive tasting session of six Champagnes will be arranged for you in a cosy Champagne boutique located a few minutes’ walk from the hotels. Following these eleven Champagnes, a further three Champagnes will be served, alongside a delightful three course dinner in a top restaurant.
After checking out of the hotel on day two, you will be taken back out into the vineyards to visit a second boutique Champagne House. Here, you will have a shorter tour followed by tastings of five of the Maison’s Champagnes. You will then be taken 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 as well as a vintage Champagne and a rosé will take place in a quaint tasting boutique in the village.
