Did you know that Champagne has its very own day to celebrate all that we love about the bubbly beverage? Every year Global Champagne Day is celebrated on the fourth Friday in October, and this year it falls on October 28.

What better way to celebrate the wine we all love so much than with a National Champagne Tour!

This October, for the first time since 2019 The Champagne Dame will be travelling around the country sharing her knowledge of Champagne and the incredible stories of the region. 

From the Kings of France to the major Champagne Houses existing during the eighteenth century, this Champagne experience dives into the rich history of the region, discovering how Champagne became what it is today.
