The special charm of champagne
Join our sommelier, Alexis, for a guided tasting of a carefully selected collection of six Champagnes. Throughout the tasting, you'll gain fascinating insights into the origin, style, and character of each cuvée while discovering the unique world of Champagne.
The UNESCO World Heritage region of Champagne is proud of the vineyards that have been producing excellent Champagne for centuries. It is a true paradise for bubble enthusiasts and the reason why we feel so comfortable there.
Exploring Champagne by e-bike is the perfect way to take it all in – effortlessly and right through the vineyards.
The Champagne region is best explored on two wheels: well-maintained cycling routes wind through vineyards, along riverbanks, and past charming villages – perfect for relaxed e-bike tours, whether leisurely or more active.
A highlight is the Véloroute 52, winding through the region along the Marne River and through the Montagne de Reims Nature Park. Across 45 kilometers, it leads right through the UNESCO-listed vineyards, with stunning views and cultural highlights along the way. A particularly scenic loop starts right at LOISIUM Champagne and takes you through Mareuil-sur-Ay, Ay, and Hautvillers – the full route is available on Komoot.
A region with charm, tradition, and several highlights that make it a hotspot for Champagne lovers in combination with idyllic vineyards.
Need some location scouting? Here you go! The ideal starting points for excursions are the cities of Reims, Ay, and Épernay, known worldwide as the center of Champagne production. There, you will not only discover one of France's most important Gothic cathedrals but also the palaces and cellars of Champagne houses.
We love a variety of perspectives! You too? Well, in the region we call home, there are endless possibilities to explore the UNESCO World Heritage.
You have the choice:
Rent an iconic E-Mehari or a 1980s 2CV and drive through the small, charming villages to immerse yourself in the French way of life.
Or enjoy the beautiful landscape and traditional architecture on a small boat for up to 6 people.
