In-Home & Private Apartment Tastings

Enjoy Champagne where you are staying.

For a relaxed and intimate experience, I can arrange a private Champagne tasting at your apartment, private residence or other suitable accommodation in Reims or Épernay.

This format works particularly well for couples, small groups and special occasions, allowing you to enjoy Champagne at your own pace without leaving your accommodation.

Your tasting can be designed around a particular theme, producer, style of Champagne or selection of wines.

Private Venue Tastings

A dedicated setting for a more immersive Champagne experience.

For clients looking for a more distinctive setting, I can help arrange a private tasting at a suitable venue in Reims, Épernay or elsewhere in the Champagne region.

The setting and wines are selected according to the style of experience you are looking for, from an intimate educational tasting to a more celebratory Champagne experience.

Can I Add a Private Tasting to My Champagne Experience?

Absolutely. A private tasting can be designed as a standalone experience or incorporated into a larger Champagne itinerary. If you are visiting Champagne for one or several days, I can coordinate your tasting alongside Champagne house visits, grower visits, dining and transportation.

A private tasting does not have to be a standalone experience.

It can also become part of a larger bespoke Champagne experience.

For example, your day could combine:

Private Champagne House Visit
→ Lunch in the Champagne region
→ Grand Cru or Grower Visit
→ Private Champagne Tasting
→ Fine Dining in Reims or Épernay

Or, for a multi-day experience:

Reims
→ Épernay
→ Grand Cru villages
→ Grower Champagne producers
→ Private tastings
→ Fine dining & luxury accommodation

Every itinerary is created around the client rather than following a fixed route.
