Day 1: introduction to Champagne
Relax with Standard Premier Eurostar travel to France. Settle in to the luxury five-star Les Crayères for your three-day Champagne tasting experience! This hotel is a serene château-style accommodation built in 1901, beautifully maintained and surrounded by a seven-hectare park with many varieties of hundred-year-old trees. This is a truly tranquil setting but only five minutes from the historic city centre of Reims, therefore the perfect base for a Champagne tasting tour. This afternoon visit the world-famous Veuve Clicquot Champagne House for your first introduction to Champagne, followed by a tasting. Explore their cellars and learn about the production process. Return for a five-course menu by a world renowned chef at the two-starred Michelin Le Parc Restaurant with wines carefully chosen by a dedicated sommelier.
Day 2: Luxury Champagne tasting
Today is a full day’s private champagne tour. Your dedicated driver and wine guide will collect you from your hotel and you’ll set off to explore the Côtes des Blancs and Grand Cru Village vineyards. You will visit three wine estates today including the famous Moët & Chandon as well as two boutique estates. Here you’ll meet the makers and be invited to explore their cellars, taste their wines and share their passion whilst you learn about the production process. You’ll sample up to ten champagnes throughout the day with a stop for a leisurely local Champenoise lunch. This day tour includes a visit to the village of Hautvillers with the Abbey Saint-Pierre, where the famous Champagne wine was born and where you will have a chance to see the tomb of Dom Pérignon – the monk to whom we owe a thank you for all these bubbles! End your day with a delicious three-course dinner, with a glass of bubbly to start and accompanying wines in Le Jardin Brasserie at your hotel. In the summer, most importantly, there is nowhere better than sitting in their garden terrace!
Day 3: Explore the Capital of Champagne
The final day in the Capital of Champagne is yours to explore. Perhaps a visit to the gothic splendour of Notre Dame Cathedral, a final wander among the winding streets of Reims or simply relax while in the tranquil grounds of your hotel before returning home with first-class rail travel.
