After checking in at the hotel on the first day, you will be welcomed at a tasting bar owned by a local Champagne House in the city centre. Here, enjoy a fun and insightful introduction to Champagne, with three tastings served alongside a charcuterie platter.

On day two, a taxi will take you to Maison Ruinart. The house of Ruinart is unlike any other; inspired by a visionary, hardworking Benedictine monk, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart, creating the world’s first ever champagne-producing company. Here, you will be taken on a guided tour of the estate and stunning cellars of Champagne Ruinart, which are classified as a historical monument and lie underneath the city of Reims. The tour will be followed by a tasting of your choice, either Ruinart Blanc de Blancs or Ruinart rosé and then their flagship Prestige Cuvée Dom Ruinart, white or rosé.
