Best small Champagne houses to visit

One of the biggest advantages of visiting small Champagne houses is that their champagnes are often more affordable than those of the major brands, without ever compromising on quality or character. Meeting the winemakers face-to-face makes your visit personal and insightful, letting you enjoy not only the champagnes themselves but also the stories, passion, and dedication behind each bottle.

Tips for making the most of your visit to small Champagne houses:

• Book ahead: most small houses welcome visitors by appointment only
• Combine a tour with a tasting: this way, you’ll experience both the craft and the flavors
• Ask about exclusive cuvées: some champagnes are only available on-site
