What It’s Really Like Visiting the Champagne Region in France?
We headed to the Champagne region of France for a trip filled with tastings, cellars, and a few surprises. In this episode, we talk about our visits to Reims, Épernay, and Hautvillers, and which Champagne houses were actually worth touring. From Veuve Clicquot to Mercier’s kitschy train ride to sipping in the birthplace of Champagne, we share the highlights and what we’d skip next time. If you’re thinking about a Champagne trip (or just love wine), this one’s for you. Read more about Champagne here.
