Transfer for lunch to Domaine Les Crayères, a historic estate nestled in the shade of centuries-old trees. Here, you can savor a glass of Champagne overlooking the English-style park, preparing yourself for a truly exquisite experience. The grand setting embodies the French art of living.

Lunch at Le Parc Restaurant, where every detail feels effortlessly refined and natural.

Explore the regional capital with a historian guide and visit Reims Cathedral — a symbol of the French monarchy. In 816, Louis the Pious was crowned here, and over the centuries, 30 French kings received their blessing and were crowned within its walls.

Visit and Tasting at Champagne House Jacques Selosse
Anselme Selosse is a favorite among wine critics and experts, known as the most original winemaker in all of Champagne. His wines, with their unique style, have redefined what Champagne can be.

In 1994, Gault&Millau named Anselme “France’s Best Winemaker”.

Dinner at the family restaurant of the Champagne house, prepared by chef Stéphane Rossillon. The menu is seasonal and changes daily.

Breakfast
Transfer to the Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs region.

Visit and Lunch at the Family-Owned Champagne House Billecart-Salmon
The Billecart-Salmon family estate was founded in 1818 by the couple Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, whose names the house proudly carries.

Unlike many Champagne houses that have changed hands over the centuries, Billecart-Salmon remains an exception—still owned by the descendants of the founders. Today, the estate is managed by two brothers, François and Antoine Roland-Billecart.

"Not quantity, but quality!"—a motto the house has followed for many years. Indeed, even among Champagne houses, Billecart-Salmon stands out for its exceptional quality.

In 1999, Billecart-Salmon received its highest honor ever when their wines took both first and second place at the Stockholm competition for the Best Vintage Champagne of the Millennium.

Transfer to Hautvillers.

It was here in the 17th-century that the Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon discovered how to transform ordinary wine into a new sparkling delight. Legend has it that when Dom Pérignon first tasted his Champagne, he exclaimed, “Come quickly! It tastes like stars!”

Visit the abbey where Dom Pérignon served.

Take a leisurely stroll through the narrow streets, explore the monastery ruins and the church where Pérignon and Ruinart are buried, then continue to the viewpoint offering picturesque views over the vineyards and the Marne river valley.

Check in at the guesthouse 25bis.
