Champagne Tasting

Experience a champagne tasting focused on independent winegrowers, known as vignerons indépendants.

​

This Masterclass is a unique experience that cannot be compared to other tastings. It is suitable for all champagne lovers who want to learn and taste everything while enjoying the full wine tasting experience. We will not only taste delicious champagnes from small producers but we can also pair them with food to discover hidden gems!
