Champagne Away Week
July 19 - July 23
After considerable planning, Gerard and Justin are delighted to announce the plans for this year’s Champagne Tour. As usual, events are priced separately to allow participants to ‘choose their own adventures’—so it doesn’t matter whether you want to come to everything, spend most of your time doing your own thing, or something in between!
The itinerary is as follows:
- Friday: travel to Reims; dinner amicale at Brugnon cellars (£130)
- Saturday: Rilly-la-Montagne village open day (£27); dinner at Le Grand Café (separate bills)
- Sunday: Champagne tasting at Avize and Lancelot (£32); lunch and grand cru Champagne tasting at Le Grand Café (£125); dinner and Champagne tasting at Excelsior Restaurant (£145)
- Monday: Champagne house visits in Pierry and Moussy (£38); dinner at Taittinger private house with prestige Champagne tasting, including Comtes de Champagne (£225)
More detailed information about each event can be found on the booking form. This year, you will need to arrange your own travel to and from Reims, but there will be a local coach to take you to and from all the events. You will also need to book your own accommodation—we recommend the Hotel de la Paix in Reims, as this is where the coach will depart from.
To book this event, please fill in this form and email it to Gerard O’Shea (gerard@sabra.ge) and Justin Rhodes (justin@sabra.ge). Please also email Gerard and Justin with any questions, as this event is organised by them, not by the UK & Ireland Council of the Confrérie du Sabre d’Or.
