A drive from Paris to Champagne

This view amazes me every time.

The view from the flat we rented.

Just outside of Épernay you'll find La Table du Bois Joli. A calm and beautiful place with wonderful food – scallops, Wagyu beef and chocolate.

In the cellars of Moët & Chandon

One thing to do in Épernay, Champagne – go to the Avenue de Champagne and visit one of the big houses. I paid a visit to Moët & Chandon, which is the biggest producer.

You can get a guided tour of the wine cellars. There's 28 km of this.

On the blackboard, you can see that there's 20 990 bottles only in this part of the cellar.

A big oak barrel (that used to be filled with port wine). A gift from Napoleon Bonaparte to Jean-Rémy Moët.

Most importantly – some tasting.

What to do in Hautvillers, Champagne?

Visit the beautiful village of Hautvillers. Have a glass at this vineyard and visit the church where Dom Pérignon's tomb is located.

Appaerently Dom Pérignon and Dom Ruinart were friends. What a festive couple.

This scenery!
