Our Champs-Elysées in Epernay hide a treasure: under the city, more than 110 km of cellars dug into the chalk are full of champagne with a golden sheen. In total, more than 200 million bottles lie in these galleries, just waiting for you!

- Mercier. Champagne Mercier began producing champagne in 1858. The doors to its grand old cellars in Epernay swung open in 1869, and today, in my opinion, it is one of the best champagne-tasting experiences in the region.
- Villa Signolle. The roots of Villa Signolle-Champagne Michel Gonet weave back to the 19th century. Villa Signolle made a name for itself with its outstanding Blanc de Blancs champagne.
- Moët & Chandon. In 1842, Moët uncorked its first-ever vintage of champagne wines and by the 1860s, their Brut Imperial was the toast of the town. With the largest patch of vines in Champagne and about 30 million bottles aging in 28 kilometers of cellars, Moet is of course arguably the most famous name in champagne with a rich history.
- Perrier-Jouet. It seems appropriate that Perrrier-Jouet began in 1811 with a love affair between Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët. They are known for their slightly more floral, Chardonnay-led blends and, of course, their beautiful bottles.

Whether you’re in Épernay to quaff the exalted beverage or not, the Avenue de Champagne needs to be your starting point. That’s because this is where the town’s most magnificent architecture is found, in the shape of stately 19th-century mansions built for Champagne houses like Moët & Chandon and Perrier-Jouët. Their past is linked inextricably wit...
Épernay’s champagne houses are world-renowned, but Moët et Chandon has achieved universal recognition going way beyond wine circles. On Avenue de Champagne Moët et Chandon also has the longest maze of underground tunnels, extending to almost 30 kilometres. You’ll learn why the steady temperatures and humidity down here, up to 30 metres underground,...
Onto another esteemed brand, also on the Avenue de Champagne. Mercier has been in the champagne business since 1858 and pitches itself as a more stylish and rebellious brand. The cellars is an 18-kilometre labyrinth of tunnels with high ceilings that may surprise you with their grandness. Some of the chambers are decorated with chandeliers and scul...
The Castellane house was founded in 1895 and invites visitors to browse its Museum of Champagne Tradition before descending into six kilometres of subterranean cellars. A highpoint is the Label Room, where some 5,000 labels from every period in de Castellane’s history are on show. De Castellane touts itself as the “most mysterious champagne in the ...
Next to the tourism office, Épernay’s Hôtel de Ville is on the western end of the Avenue de Champagne. The resplendent neo-renaissance mansion was donated to the town by the Auban-Moët family after the previous building was destroyed in the First World War. You can ponder the architecture for a couple of minutes but the big draw here is the garden....
A mid-19th-century mansion built in the renaissance Louis XIII style, Château Perrier was intended as a whimsical and extravagant home for Charles Perrier. At this time he was both the director of the Perrier-Jouët champagne house and the mayor of Épernay. But in the 20th century the mansion would have a very different use, serving as the headquart...
Épernay’s theatre commemorates the actor Gabrielle-Dorziat who was born in the town and made waves on the stage in Paris in the 1910s and 1920s, before embarking on a film career that lasted to the 1960s. Like many of Épernay’s grandest buildings, the theatre was erected in the late-19th century, and its design borrows from Louis XV-style neoclassi...
Possibly the oldest monument in Épernay, this ruin is the last remnant of the renaissance Abbey of Saint-Martin, which stood at this port until it was demolished in stages in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This western portal is from 1540 and has to be seen for the quality of its stonework, representing cherubs, Hercules and a variety of animal...
There are around 300 Champagne crus in the region so if your thirst for this heavenly drink hasn’t yet been quenched then you can hop on the Champagne Route and see what you can find. There’s a long list of companies based in Épernay and nearby Reimes providing transfers to and from wineries or bespoke tours. You won’t need to spend long on the roa...
The village of Hautvillers is just across the Marne, a couple of minutes north of Épernay. Champagne connoisseurs come to pay their respects to the 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon, who was the cellarer here from 1668 until he died in 1715. Dom Pérignon was pivotal in the genesis of the champagne industry, setting out the earliest rules t...
From Épernay and its iconic Avenue de Champagne all the way to Villenauxe-la-Grande, once a thriving centre for ceramic production, via myriad viewpoints overlooking rows upon rows of vines stretching to the horizon, a multifaceted tour of Champagne, the wine and the region, awaits.
- Pressoria. Pressoria is the brand new sensory interpretation center for champagne wines, housed in the walls of a former Pommery pressing center in the commune of Aÿ.
- Champagne Comtesse Lafond. Champagne Comtesse Lafond is a small Champagne House named for the owner’s grandmother. Baron Patrick de Ladouchette has carried on the family’s reputation for great Champagne, with styles ranging from extra brut to rose.

- Villa Signolle. A family-run business since 1802, they offer specialist champagnes for experts and amateurs alike. They do the harvesting, handling and winemaking of all their own grapes, from one of the best terroirs in the Champagne region.
