DESCRIPTION

This private experience begins with an exclusive visit to traditional Champagne cellars, where centuries-old bottles rest quietly underground, preserving the legacy and craftsmanship of the region. As you explore these historic caves, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate process behind each bottle.

Following this immersive introduction, you’ll be invited to participate in one of Champagne’s most fascinating traditions. Set in a charming estate, you will first be introduced to the historical context of sabrage, a practice dating back to Napoleonic times. This ritual, long associated with celebration and prestige, remains one of the most iconic symbols of Champagne’s ceremonial culture. As you learn about the cultural significance of this iconic gesture, your expert host will guide you through the techniques and safety rules of sabering.

Each participant will have the opportunity to saber a bottle themselves, an exhilarating moment that combines precision, history, and celebration. Once the cork flies and the Champagne flows, the experience continues with a refined tasting accompanied of the bottle.

This is a rare opportunity to appreciate Champagne not only as a drink but also as a symbol of craftsmanship and tradition, all in a fully personalized and private format. It’s not just about tasting the final product, it’s about connecting with the essence of Champagne culture, from its heritage to its rituals, in a truly immersive way.
