Hautvillers and the Legacy of Dom Pérignon
Travel into the Marne Valley to Hautvillers, a historic village closely associated with the origins of Champagne. Visit the former Benedictine Abbey, where Dom Pérignon—widely credited with helping refine the Champagne-making process—lived and is buried, and discover the enduring connection between this hillside village and the region’s wine heritage.
Épernay, the Capital of Champagne
Continue to Épernay, often known as the Capital of Champagne, where elegant mansions along the main avenue reflect the presence of celebrated names such as Moët & Chandon, Perrier-Jouët, Mercier, and Veuve Clicquot. Beneath the city, more than 100 kilometers of chalk cellars hold millions of bottles as they mature, revealing the remarkable scale and tradition behind Champagne production.
Champagne Cellars, Grand Cru Vineyards, and Tastings
Discover Champagne production through a cellar visit and tasting at Moët & Chandon or a similar Champagne House, or at a family-run estate dating from the French Revolution. The experience also includes a visit and tasting at a local Grand Cru vineyard or similar producer, where Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay are grown.
