Visit & Wine Tasting at Veuve Clicquot Winery (or similar)
Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Muiron, the house played an important role in establishing champagne as a favored drink of Bourgeoisie and Nobility throughout Europe. After the death of her Husband, in 1805, Barbe Nicole Ponsardin known as the widow Clicquot (veuve in French) became the first woman to take over a Champagne house.
Under Madame Clicquot's guidance, the firm focused entirely on the last, to great success. She will also revolutionize the techniques of the Champagne making process. Because of this she was named “La Grande Dame de la Champagne”.
Upon arrival, follow your first Champagne tour of the day. We have booked for you the Bubbly workshop visit.

The Foureur family vineyard has been Champagne producers since the 16th century. In 1875, they began producing Champagne under their own brand. They are located in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. They own 4 hectares of grand cru vineyard, especially renowned for their Pinot Noir. This allowed them to produce 20 000 bottles, mainly sold in France.
Your private Champagne tour continues far from the commercial aspect of the Grandes Maisons where you will discover here the ancestral methods for the making process of champagne and meet passionate people.

The House was created in 1875 in the little village of Damery located in the Marne’s Valley. Laure and David are proud to be today the Fifth generation of winemakers. They are focused on the respect of both traditions and ancestral working methods. Their champagne Plaisir d’Antan is for instance a good example of this philosophy.
Made of a 100 percent Chardonnay, this Cuvée is aged in oak casks as it was before the creation of stainless steel vats giving a unique taste to the Champagne. They work as independent winemakers with 12 hectares of vineyards and produce 80 000 bottles.
