Whet your appetite for the festive season with a pre-Christmas Champagne escape in the company of wine expert Tim Clarke. Based in the heart of Reims, walking distance from the magnificent gothic cathedral where the kings of France were crowned, we will enjoy exclusive tastings and delicious cuisine, as well as time to explore the atmospheric Christmas markets. From a grand dinner at the Taittinger family château, to intimate tastings with our favourite growers out in the vineyard villages, we will sample diverse Champagnes in a variety of settings. During the course of the holiday, Tim Clarke will share his 30 years of Champagne insights with you and host his own tutored tastings, which demonstrate the complexity and diversity of this most pleasurable of wines.
