Champagne. Bubbles of Bliss — Five Days Inside the Legendary Houses

Arrival in Paris. Transfer to the Champagne region (approx. 2-hour drive). Check-in at the boutique hotel of the Selosse Champagne House and unwind.

Visit and tasting at Champagne Pierre Péters — a family-owned house that released its first champagne in 1919. Pierre Péters is renowned for producing the finest Chardonnay in the Côte des Blancs — specifically from the Grand Cru village of Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Welcome champagne tasting among the evening vineyards. Dinner at a traditional local restaurant.

Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer to Reims. This vibrant city of 200,000 inhabitants has preserved its historic spirit, symbolized by the majestic 12th-century Reims Cathedral.

Visit to Champagne House Ruinart — enjoy a private tasting session in their exclusive salon. Transfer for lunch to Domaine Les Crayères, a historic estate nestled in the shade of centuries-old trees. Lunch at Le Parc Restaurant.

Explore the regional capital with a historian guide and visit Reims Cathedral — a symbol of the French monarchy. In 816, Louis the Pious was crowned here, and over the centuries, 30 French kings received their blessing within its walls.

Visit and tasting at Champagne House Jacques Selosse. Anselme Selosse is a favourite among critics, known as the most original winemaker in all of Champagne. Dinner at the family restaurant of the Champagne house, prepared by chef Stéphane Rossillon — a seasonal menu that changes daily.

Breakfast. Transfer to the Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs region. Visit and lunch at the family-owned Billecart-Salmon estate, founded in 1818 and still owned by the descendants of the founders. In 1999 their wines took both first and second place at the Stockholm competition for the Best Vintage Champagne of the Millennium.
