As on all our Original Champagne Weekends, our aim is to taste a wide spectrum of Champagnes, to visit a good cross section of Houses, from those that forged Champagne’s reputation such as Taittinger, Pol Roger and Veuve Clicquot as well as to search out quality growers and rising stars in the villages.

Champagne is fun to drink and a fascinating wine to see being made and being easy to get to makes for a great weekend. Our base for the weekend is a comfortable 3* hotel in the centre of the lively attractive city of Reims. Reims is just 280kms of easy motorway from Calais so the journey passes quickly – especially as someone else is doing the driving! Along they way our Tour Manager will serve complimenary tea, coffee and biscuits and you can sit back, read your book or watch the scenery.

Over the course of the weekend you will taste at least 25 champagnes, starting at breakfast. You will receive a special welcome and generous tastings at houses that we have been visiting for many years.
