Begin with the book

Celebrating Champagne: A Wine For All Seasons is an inspiring starting point for anyone curious about the Champagne region.

Through its seasons, landscapes, food, flowers, traditions and pleasures, the book offers a deeper sense of the place behind the wine. It is a book to browse when you first begin planning a trip to Champagne, helping you discover the character of the region and imagine the kind of journey you might like to make.

Keep it beside you as you research Champagne, return to it while planning your itinerary, and take it with you as a reminder of the places and experiences you are hoping to discover.

Explore with the Champagne Maps Collection

Champagne is a place before it is a wine.

Its vineyards are spread across a remarkably varied landscape, shaped by geology, soil, climate, elevation and aspect. Understanding that geography is one of the most rewarding ways to understand Champagne itself.

In 2018, Sally Hillman created a unique series of Champagne Maps to make this geography visible. Working with a specialist cartographer, Sally developed a detailed visual representation of the Champagne appellation, revealing the relationship between its villages, vineyards and terroirs.

The complete collection of six Champagne maps brings this fascinating geography to life.

Use the maps alongside Celebrating Champagne to explore the principal Champagne regions, understand how the vineyards are distributed and discover the places behind the wine. They offer a beautiful visual reference when considering where you might like to go, what you would like to explore and how the different landscapes of Champagne connect.

A map cannot tell the whole story of a Champagne, of course. But it gives us somewhere to begin. It gives context to the bottle, connects the wine to its landscape and helps make the diversity of the Champagne region easier to see.

Rather than following a prescribed itinerary, the pleasure is in discovering what interests you and creating a journey that is your own.

Take a little Champagne with you

The Champagne Cosmetic & Wash Bag is a stylish and practical travel companion, made from durable cotton with a water-resistant lining. Finished with original hand-painted Champagne artwork and a silk tassel, it is beautifully suited to weekends away, longer journeys through France or simply keeping everyday essentials together.

The Champagne Playing Cards are made for those slower moments of travel. Featuring hand-painted Champagne-inspired artwork, the 52-card deck plus two Jokers is compact and easy to pack, perfect for a relaxed game at the end of the day, perhaps over a glass of Champagne after dinner.

Planning your own Champagne journey

The Champagne Traveller is an inspiring Champagne travel guide for the person who wants to discover those possibilities for themselves.

There is so much more to visiting Champagne than tasting the wine. There are the streets of Reims and Épernay, the Champagne Houses and growers, the villages among the vineyards, the different wine-growing areas, the landscapes and the long lunches that make the journey memorable.

The Champagne Traveller is for the person who wants to discover those possibilities for themselves.

Use the book to begin. Let the maps guide your curiosity. Research the places that appeal to you. Create your own Champagne itinerary and allow room for the unexpected.
