GRAPE ESCAPES - CHAMPAGNE TOURS
Champagne Tasting Tours
We run five types of Champagne Tasting Weekends (Deluxe, Prestige, Harvest, Meet the Maker, Adventure) as well as a Superlative Champagne Tour to the best Champagne Houses available, and a Credit Crunch Tour for the budget conscious.
All of our Champagne tasting tours are designed with flexibility in mind, so you can choose how you wish to travel (drive, train or fly), what grade of accomodation you want, amd how long you wish to stay etc..
Prestige Champagne Weekend
Our Prestige Champagne Weekend continues to be the most popular tour that we operate and is a lynchpin of our program in Champagne. This tour combines the best of the larger and smaller Champagne Houses with the opportunity to enjoy a great 4 course lunch accompanied by some fine wines.
Deluxe Champagne Weekend
For those who enjoy the finer things in life, we are pleased to offer our Deluxe Champagne Weekend. This tour offers you the opportunity to taste the best Champagnes of each House. Guests will enjoy not only La Grande Dame at Veuve Clicquot, but also a private tour at Moet and Chandon to sample their iconic Dom Perignon Champagne.
Meet The Maker Champagne Weekend
The focus of the Meet the Maker Tour is to sample the widest variety of Champagnes, created by smaller family run Houses. It will include the opportunity to dine at one of these small Champagne Houses as the guests of the estate and taste their Champagnes during lunch. Guests will meet some of the personalities who create the great wines and make our tours so special.
Adventure Champagne Weekend
For guests who are looking for something unusual and very memorable in Champagne, we are pleased to offer our unique Adventure Tour. With the opportunity to abseil 100 feet into a set of Champagne cellars, followed by the opportunity to learn the Napoleonic art of Sabrage, this tour is fondly remembered by past clients.
Harvest Weekend
The Harvest Weekend offers the ultimate opportunity to truly understand the whole Champagne process from first principles. We are delighted to work with a family run, Grand Cru Champagne House to offer our guests the opportunity to get their hands dirty in the vineyard during the ‘vendange’.
Chateau and Spa Champagne Breaks
The Chateau and Spa Champagne Breaks are available both mid-week and weekends throughout the year. These relaxing and romantic gourmand getaways are also ideal birthday and anniversary gifts.
Budget Basic Tour
The Budget Basic Champagne Tour is the tour for those on a very tight budget. However, in common with all Grape Escapes tours, we don’t skimp on quality just because it is inexpensive.
Budget Standard
For those looking for a mid week Champagne tour with a good introduction to the various tastes and styles of Champagne available, this Budget Standard Champagne Tour may be the answer.
