We’re delighted to share more about Celebrating Champagne: A Wine for All Seasons, the debut book from Sally Hillman — a heartfelt project quietly introduced, and now warmly opened to you.
A true labour of love, this beautifully crafted coffee table book offers a fresh and inspiring perspective on one of the world’s most celebrated wines. Designed to both inspire and delight, Celebrating Champagne invites readers to embrace champagne as a lifestyle — a wine not reserved for milestones, but enjoyed with quiet moments, meaningful meals, and every season in between.
Inspired by Sally Hillman’s beautiful cartography and vision, Celebrating Champagne is a sensory journey. With elegant photography and timeless design, it makes a stunning addition to any home. Inside, readers will discover a collection of 40 French-inspired recipes — dishes close to Sally’s heart — thoughtfully paired with exquisite champagnes to suit every season and occasion.
From delicate spring lunches to heartier winter gatherings, this book reimagines champagne as the perfect companion to any occasion. Organised by season, each chapter begins with a thoughtful quote and an introduction to the styles of champagne that shine during that time of year. Readers are then guided through the diversity of the Champagne region with detailed cartography, engaging historical insights, and expert pairing tips. For instance, the fresh elegance of Chardonnay-based champagnes from the Côte des Blancs is explored through the lens of summer — best enjoyed with vibrant produce and alfresco entertaining.
More than a wine guide, Celebrating Champagne blends elements of art, lifestyle, history and culinary pleasure. It also offers ideas for seasonal table styling, curated menus, and cheese pairings — making it the ideal companion for modern entertainers, curious enthusiasts, and lovers of French culture.
Whether you’re just beginning your champagne journey or deepening an existing love affair, Celebrating Champagne is your invitation to savour the elegance of the everyday. From a simple lunch to a festive soirée, every moment becomes a celebration.
