Liquid Gold: Historic Cellars of Champagne 

The Champagne region of France is synonymous with celebration, prestige, and the world’s finest sparkling wines. Gaining private entry into the highly guarded, historic chalk cellars of legendary Champagne houses offers an elite journey through liquid history. 

Stay in a historic, luxury chateau nestled among the rolling hills of Reims, featuring manicured gardens and impeccable French service. Travel by private chauffeured vintage car to elite houses like Dom Pérignon or Krug for private tours of their centuries-old, subterranean chalk cellars. Enjoy exclusive tastings of rare, museum-release prestige cuvées that are normally unavailable to the public, guided by the house cellarmasters. Dinners are a celebration of French gastronomy, with each course meticulously paired with a different vintage of exceptional champagne.
