Oplev Champagne på en halv dag i en varebil
Beskrivelse
Jeg blev født i Epernay, i hjertet af denne champagnevugge, hvor barselsafdelingen hed Auban-Moet, bygget i 1893 takket være donationer fra Moët & Chandon-familien. Børn født på dette sted får en dråbe champagne fra deres første åndedrag ! Sådan en dåb åbner en livsstil, så jeg valgte at nå kridtskråningerne for at arbejde der og udvikle en vis følsomhed over for naturen og vinstokken. En hel historie om himmel, landskaber og mennesker, som jeg ikke kan holde for mig selv. Velkommen til Champagnelandet!!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tag til den berømte Avenue de Champagne i Epernay, det historiske hjerte af den guddommelige drik. Her blev de store huse født! Godser som Moët et Chandon, Perrier-Jouët eller Pol Roger, De Venoge ... har konkurreret i arkitektonisk frækhed og storslåethed for at give Champagne sine adelsbreve. De er i harmoni med omdømmet for vinen, der ældes i deres kældre. Med en park på 110 km kældre og ikke mindre end 200 millioner flasker under brostenene, anses denne Avenue for at være den rigeste i verden! Opdagelse med varevogn.
Undervejs tager vi mod den charmerende landsby Hautvillers, Champagnes vugge. Beliggende på en bjergskråning tilbyder det en betagende udsigt over Montagne de Reims, Marne-dalen og Côte des Blancs! Lænet op ad den nærliggende skov ligger et benediktinerkloster, hvis intendant-kælder i 1668 hed Dom Pérignon! Han er født i 1639 i St. Menehould i Marne og er en af de munke, der deltog i at forbedre kvaliteten af vin i vores region. Hans opdagelse af blandingen af forskellige druesorter og forskellige årgange sikrede hans efterkommere. Bag klosterets lukkede have er udsigten betagende over "grand cru" og "premier cru" vinmarkerne i Champagne Appellation. Det ideelle sted at opdage hele vinstokkens cyklus såvel som champagnevinbondens hårde "håndlavede" arbejde. Er det ikke "Gode vine uden gode druer"
Et vidunderligt besøg hos en uafhængig vinproducent, der gennem sin familiehistorie og århundreder gamle fortælling vil afsløre sine kældre og en del af hemmeligheden bag sin vin. Mødet mellem disse vinbønder og deres champagner er altid et unikt og uforglemmeligt øjeblik, fordi de ejer 90% af de 34.000 hektar, der dækker Champagne-appellationen. Gennem denne handling er de dens oprindelse, dens erindring, dens familietradition og sommetider dens kamp! De er hjertet af terroiren. Besøget er slut: Den sidste finish vil funkle i vores champagnefløjter til 3 guidede smagsprøver samt nogle tips til vellykkede mad- og champagneparringer!

Slutningen af eftermiddagen vil blive viet til besøget af en anden uafhængig vinbonde, som gennem sin familie og århundreder gamle historie vil afsløre sine kældre og en del af hemmeligheden bag sin vin for dig. Mødet mellem dets gartnervinbønder og deres champagner er altid et unikt og uforglemmeligt øjeblik, fordi de er ejere af 90% af de 34.000 hektar, der er dækket af Champagne-appellationen. Ved denne handling er de oprindelsen, hukommelsen, familietraditionen og kampen nogle gange! De er hjertet i terroiret. Besøget er slut: Den sidste touch vil funkle i vores Champagne-flutes til 3 kommenterede smagninger samt nogle tips til vellykket mad- og champagneparring!
Et stop på et af de smukkeste udsigtspunkter i Champagne og dens 3 vindyrkningsområder. Opdagelse af "grands crus" og 1er crus "vinmarker klassificeret som UNESCO kulturarv.

A nice and personal tour with Angelique, a real local. Knew a lot about the history of champagne houses and the region. Would anyone recommend this personal tour,
Angelique is an incredible guide. A native of Epernay she was able to share many fun stories about the region. The tour was family friendly and she went out of her way to make sure my two young daughters were also engaged. The champagne we tasted was fantastic and it was great to try champagne from more boutique domains. If you are going to Champagne, look no further, she is the best!
Angélique, our guide / chauffeur for the afternoon, hails from Epernay, and is clearly in the right occupation! She was wonderful - she took the trouble to learn the names of all 8 passengers / guests, and kept us updated throughout the tour (from1:30pm to after 6:00 pm), in a most informative and entertaining way. She spoke mainly in English (our group included customers from the UK, Germany, Colombia and Singapore). We visited two small champagne houses 20 or so minutes south of Reims (in Dizy and in Chaumuzy) for tastings and tours (of each house), as well as the Abbaye Saint-Pierre at Hautvillers, in which the tombs of Dom Pérignon and Dom Ruinart are to be found. Angélique uses a Nissan van with reasonable space for her to drive up to 8 adult passengers - as well as ample space in the boot / trunk for those passengers’ purchases to be conveyed back to Reims. Angélique was kind enough at the end of the tour to drive my party of 4 back to where our car was parked (perhaps 10 mins away from the Reims rail station) so that we did not have to find a different way to get the many kg of champagne & bottles back under our own steam at the end of the tour. PS: Angélique and one of the champagne house owners also provided useful restaurant recommendations for dinner after the tour. (We eventually chose the “Petit Comptoir” bistro in Reims - if you want to book you need to do it by telephone).
Angelique was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the region. Her history working in the champagne industry really showed as she was able to share anecdotes and trivial gems about the region and its people. You could tell she loves her home region and wants to share it with her guests. A great day out.
We did a half day tour with Angelique. We visited 2 excellent small champagne houses in the villages surrounding Epernay. It was great to visit these smaller family-run houses as a change from the more commercial champagne house tours in Epernay. Angelique was a great host and would highly recommend.
Angelique was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about wine making and history in Epernay and beyond. We booked the trip to see and taste champagnes from family run vineyards; this tour did not disappoint! Book this experience now!
We had a very entertaining time with Angélique. With a lot of expertise she offered us a very personal tour away from the well-known cellars. I can only recommend them at any time.
I gifted this tour to my parents, and they absolutely loved every moment of it. Angélique took exceptional care of them, offering a truly unique experience thanks to her deep knowledge of the region, wonderful sense of humor, and warm hospitality. Even though my parents didn’t know much about Champagne before, they returned with a lot appreciation for it—and a newfound understanding as well. If you’re in the area and looking for a memorable and personal experience, I truly recommend this tour—100%!
Merci Hazal, I received your parents with pleasure and interest . Introducing people from the world to Champagne is my 1st mission ! I'm so glad they appreciated your gift. Yakinda gorüsuüruüz .
i highly recommend this tour as our guide shared her emmense knowledge of Champange with us as we enjoyed tastings at two different houses. It was a great day for us.
So much fun. A wonderful afternoon. We had a great time with Angelique. She was energetic and knowledgeable on champagne.
Merci Kathy, always happy to welcome the whole world in Champagne
