Epernay Champagne Houses 2026

Epernay is the main city for the Côte des Blancs. From the Avenue de Champagne, you are only a 5-minute drive away from famous Grand Cru villages like Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. This sub-region is specialized and focused on the Chardonnay grape, making it perfect for visiting both the big brands and independent growers.

Discover world-famous cellars situated on the legendary Avenue de Champagne, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This historic boulevard is home to prestigious names like Moët & Chandon and Perrier-Jouët, offering a glimpse into centuries of tradition. A visit to these grand estates allows you to explore miles of underground chalk cellars and experience tastings of the finest cuvées directly from the source.
