About this experience
Together, we will leave for a period of 2 hours to discover the historic vineyard of Aÿ-Champagne, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will immerse yourself in my profession as a winegrower during a peaceful and romantic stroll. Then, I will make you discover my champagnes in the heart of the vines. It is therefore in the heart of nature and facing unforgettable landscapes, that the moment of a tasting time stops, giving way to the effervescence of Champagne emotions. Prepare to share my open-air bubble and remember to bring a cap, hat, scarf, jacket and good humor (depending on the weather conditions) on the day of our adventure.
