Epernay Walking Tour

Epernay, France

Why Walk Epernay

Epernay sits above a network of chalk tunnels stretching over 110 kilometers, where hundreds of millions of bottles of Champagne age at a constant temperature. The Avenue de Champagne — called the most expensive street in the world — is lined with the grand mansions of houses like Moet & Chandon, Perrier-Jouet, and Pol Roger. Dom Perignon improved winemaking techniques in the nearby abbey of Hautvillers. Audio narration reveals the science, history, and economics of Champagne production that turn a cellar visit into an education.
