Then a 3-course French lunch with champagne is served in a traditional restaurant.  After lunch, the tour continues with Veuve Clicquot Champagne, the cellars, the history of the emblematic character and a double tasting before the boutique.

After a drive through the vineyards and landscapes of Unesco listed Champagne, you will visit a second small Champagne producer with a large tasting session of Brut, Blanc de blancs and blanc de noirs Champagnes.

Day 3 is even more exciting, with special tastings of the rarest Champagnes, "extra-brut" and "zero" to compare with Champagne brut. Taste also Champagnes with still wines from french oak barrels. You will meet handcraft winemakers who will share their passion with you and make you taste their best bottles of Champagne : the single-plot champagnes which are from the few best plots of Champagne. 

Day 4 is the luxe day with Dom Pérignon and the oldest house in Champagne, Ruinart, combined with a Michelin starred lunch. This tour takes you to the village where Dom Pérignon lived and created the first bubble of Champagne.

" I enjoy going deep to understand everything and the wine is my passion. I don't want to drink a lot but very good or the best wines. This tour was perfect for me. I had answers to all my questions and was gently challenged to feel more of the champagne I tasted. I better know now the Champagne is as complexe as a wine and better appreciate it. I thought I knew but I learn a lot. The Champagne wine club is also a good complement to the experience to continue enjoying it at home longer. Thank you !
