SATURDAY 30 May 2026: WELCOME TO PARIS!
Welcome to Paris, the world famous City of Lights. Check into Maison Favart – your home for the next two nights.
This afternoon we will awaken your senses with a private, luxury perfume masterclass. This is all about understanding aromas and how to identify and articulate them – something we will shortly be asking to you apply to the world of champagne! As well as being a lot of fun the perfume masterclass gives a solid grounding in the skills you’ll be using all week to fully appreciate the exquisite champagnes you’ll be trying.
The glorious welcome dinner we have planned for you this evening is where you will enjoy a formal tour briefing and most importantly, get to know your fellow guests. And of course indulge in some champagne!
Overnight accommodation; Maison Favart

SUNDAY 31 May 2026: DIOR DARLING

After the VIP tour you will feast on a three-course lunch at Restaurant Monsieur Dior to continue the Dior experience.
The rest of your afternoon and evening in Paris is at leisure.
Overnight accommodation; Maison Favart
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch
MONDAY 1 June 2026: TIME TO SPARKLE
This morning enjoy breakfast, checkout and say farewell to Paris. We are then whisked away by private transfer to the region of Champagne!
A divine private tasting at an iconic champagne house sets the scene for the next five days of private access only tastings, superb dining and more.
In the afternoon we check into Chateau de Sacy, your home for the next five nights. Settle in and stretch your legs in the delightful garden.

Overnight accommodation: Chateau de Sacy (or similar)
Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner
TUESDAY 2 – FRIDAY 5 June 2026: FROM ARTISAN TO ICONIC: THE WOMEN OF CHAMPAGNE
Over the next four glorious days you will experience the magic of a multitude of champagne houses that will take you from the smaller artisans to the iconic Maisons. You will be immersed in deep, chalk caves, see how champagne is created from the ground up and meet up with some of today’s movers and shakers of the Champagne world.
As always, our visits will focus on the amazing women of champagne – both past and present. Women have been fundamental to the story of champagne since the Grande Dame herself, Veuve Cliquot, took over her husband’s small champagne house following his untimely death and turned it into one of the world’s first multinational companies. Today, some of the biggest brands and smallest labels have incredible women at the helm, and the story of the women in champagne continues to evolve and grow.
In between champagne visits you’ll also have time to relax and soak up the beauty of this gorgeous region. We’ll also have you going on a guided walking tour of Reims, including to the famed Notre Dame where Kings and Queens have been crowned through the centuries, and we let you loose to explore the Avenue De Champagne in Epernay at your own pace.
The full itinerary of champagne visits will be released ahead of your tour. Examples of those visited on previous tours include:
- Champagne Ruinart
- Champagne Bollinger
- Champagne Jacquart
- Champagne Veuve Fourny
- Champagne Veuve Clicquot
- Champagne Gardet
- Champagne Pommery
- Champagne Paul Lebrun
- Champagne Pol Roger
- Champagne Henriot

+ - Hotels
Paris:
A delicious interlude outside of time, the décor of La Maison Favart inspires. In the choice of each object, the care of each detail, resounds a small graceful melody.
Each of the 39 rooms and suites has its own special feel, imbued with the opulence of 18th century style. Some have the look of a hushed boudoir, others have the privilege of a majestic view, others have the charm of an attic, and others have the spice of pure modernity. All with their precious comfort, these rooms are a nod to the patina of the classics and the timeless Parisian style.
Champagne:
Travel though our hotel, through the history of Women and Champagne ! Nuit de Miel, Madame de Pompadour, Valse Pétillante and Marie Antoinette… each of our rooms is unique and invites you to relax.
Your comfort and well-being take priority.
