After checking in at the Hotel Jean Moët on the first day, you will be welcomed for an introductory tasting session of six Champagnes in a cosy wine bar in the historic centre of town.

After breakfast on day two of your trip, a pre-paid taxi will collect you from your hotel and whisk you to Champagne Bollinger, in nearby Ay. Be one of the few to experience an exclusive tour at Bollinger, where your guide will regale you with the history of the Maison, as it steered its way through the turmoil of two World Wars, retained the Royal Warrant from the Court of England and became 007’s bubbles of choice. You will taste three different Bollinger Champagnes and come to understand the unique characteristics of this Champagne. After such a fabulous tour, your taxi will then take you to the famous village of Hautvillers, the “cradle of Champagne”. As well as having time to admire the spectacular views across the vineyards and visit the Church where Dom Pérignon is buried, a comparative tasting session of three single varietal Champagnes will take place in a quaint tasting boutique in the village. A light lunch of cheeses and gourmet local delicacies will also be served.
