Private pre-dinner Champagne Tasting and more!

Champagne tasting is predominantly an experience we enjoy during the day whilst visiting a vineyard; but this exclusive experience includes champagne tasting just before dinner.

The experience takes place a Hotel Chateau de Sacy which is located on a vineyard close to Reims in the Champagne district of France. You will stay at the hotel for 2 nights. The hotel only has 12 rooms which open onto the vineyard; the rooms combine elegance with serenity.

Day 1

At 18.30 you will have the pleasure to enjoy an exclusive private tasting with the Sommelier of the hotel. You will taste 2 or 3 different cuvees and learn about their individual idiosyncrasies. At the end of your tasting the Sommelier will open a fresh bottle of Champagne for you using the traditional method, a sabre!! Known as a ‘Sabrage’. You will have the pleasure of drinking this champagne immediately after with your dinner. Dinner will be served at 20.00 in the restaurant of the hotel overlooking the vineyards.

Day 2

You will be collected from your hotel by your driver/guide at 09.30 and taken to the top of the vineyard to explore. This will be followed by a visit to the oldest Champagne House – Champagne Ruinart, the cellars of which are part of UNESCO World Heritage. Here you will do some champagne tasting followed by a 3 course lunch.

After lunch, in contrast to the morning you will visit Champagne Bonnet-Ponson – owned by a young, inspiring champagne producer situated in the north of the vineyard of the Montagne de Reims. Cyril is part of a new generation of organic champagne producers constantly in search of different techniques. Here you will enjoy more tastings!!

Finish your day with a visit to the world famous Reims Cathedral and the Palais de Tau, where the kingdom of France was born!
