Châteaux d’Etoges.

All degustation meals + 5-course Champagne  diner included :-)

Extra 2nd night possible !

 

 


The art of Champagne brewing is an absolute scientifically elaborated harmony between earth’s treasures and the labour of man.

It is the king of all wines...

Allow yourself to be overwhelmed by its magical charm ...

The wine and the region that produces it share the same name. Real Champagne comes from The Champagne. Both are intrinsically related to one another.

We will visit cities and villages, which produce the most famous wine in the world ..., and will of course extensively taste it. It has often been said that the vineyards are a garden. They have unmistakably been created by human hands. The originally over abundant nature has been tamed by generations of wine growers, and the result is the perfectly orderly landscape that exists today.

The completely safe and damage free route which takes us over predominantly gravel roads, into the Champagne region, may be run individually or in small groups, quietly and calmly, while we refer to the « Code of the responsible 4x4-driver », of which you will receive a copy.

"Deluxe 4x4xdégustation du terroir ... à volonté"

RESPECT FOR NATURE!

RESPECT FOR OTHERS!

NOTA  

A Royal stage in Champagne.

All meals (adults) including wines and/or Champagne.
