A daily devotion
From vine to wine, grape to glass
Terroir to taste and farm to table
Experience the soul and emotion of the most magical place
Where you’ll depart, no longer the same
And return, to collect your heart, time and again
This is the everlasting love story of Champagne
The region of Champagne needs little introduction: as a world-class and World Heritage–listed destination, it is the world’s most beguiling winemaking region. But, its magic must be seen, experienced and savoured first-hand if its spirit is to be truly understood.
It is no longer enough to only visit the Grande Marques—the Great Brands of Champagne. Though their masterful blends create wines of great consistency and renown, it is in the growers from which they buy their grapes that you will find the heart of Champagne.
For adventure seekers and wine lovers in search of total Champagne immersion, we invite you to seek out grower-producers who craft unique, artisanal wines from grapes they have grown themselves. As fierce custodians to their ancestral lands, these passionate vignerons tend to small holdings of family-owned vines with sustainable methods and terroir-focused philosophies that form a strong part of the region’s history and, importantly, protect it for the future.
Unequivocally, grower-producers are the window to Champagne’s soul, and we at Sally Hillman are delighted to celebrate this profound connection with gaiety and gusto in each intimate tasting and curated experience on our bespoke Tour de Champagne.
As we take the road less travelled, visiting grower Houses that are award-winning, up-and-coming and exclusive only to our guests, our tour will also provide unique opportunities to access historic, esteemed Houses and regional fine diners – including Michelin-starred establishments – for an awe-inspiring audience with the region’s leading professionals.
On our all-inclusive, first-class tour, no stone is left unturned, no experience too much to ask. You will come away with every desire catered for: curiosity satisfied, thirst quenched and palate satiated, the barriers transcended.
Discover a love for Champagne that is precious and irreplaceable.
