Since the reign of the Emperor Charlemagne, the Champagne region has been one of the great heartlands of Europe and now thanks to its world famous sparkling wine, is a mecca for those who appreciate the best in gastronomy. The region starts around 75 miles from Paris, around the city of Meaux and stretches along the beautiful River Marne to the city of Epernay, home of such renowned Champagne houses as Moet & Chandon.

Les Riceys in Champagne, France
Surrounded by vineyards with grapes for rosé wines and champagnes, Les Riceys is a peaceful village with multiple wineries offering tastings and cellar tours. While in Les Riceys, we visit Maison Taisne Riocour, viewing the vineyards and winery before tasting some of their champagnes. We then head to Château de Ricey-Bas for a gourmet lunch with the Baroness herself, which we take in either the private salon or the atmospheric vaulted 13th century kitchen.

Champagne produces a wine so famous that many people do not know precisely what it is. Champagne is rigidly controlled and strictly defined in France, and the name, far from applying to all sparkling wine, is only legal when applied to the one unique wine that is made in the region of Champagne for which it is named. 83,000 acres of vineyards produce about a million bottles of Champagne a day!

France’s Champagne region is best explored via its waterways. Most famous for its sparkling beverage of the same name, the region draws visitors from across the globe each year looking to sample some of the finest food and drink options France has to offer. A cruise along the River Marne will offer visitors a glimpse into the luxurious (and delicious) Champagne area. Some tour highlights include visits to local cathedrals, cheese tastings, and naturally – plenty of champagne sampling.

During our cruise in Champagne we visit Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, Château-Thierry American Monument & Belleau Wood American Monument. It was here that US forces fought one of their bloodiest battles during World War One. The countryside surrounding Château-Thierry was the site of many great battles during both World Wars and a number of monuments and cemeteries mark the bravery of thousands of Allied soldiers who fought to liberate France and who now lie interred under her soil.

The Village of Hautvillers where Dom Perignon Discovered the Méthode Champenoise
During our cruise in Champagne we visit the pretty hilltop village of Hautvillers. Known as the ‘cradle of Champagne’, it is here that the monk Dom Perignon discovered the ‘méthode champenoise’. Champagne might have remained unsung and unvisited, had it not been for an accident of history. Close to Reims cathedral in the Abbaye d'Hautvilliers, a near-blind Benedictine monk named Dom Pierre Pérignon was given the job of being its chief treasurer and cellar master.
