Every time we return to Champagne, it feels like stepping back into a world where elegance is a way of living — a rhythm we’ve come to know intimately through years of unforgettable insider journeys. Our October 2025 edition was especially meaningful, marking the very first chapter of our partnership with Moët Hennessy Private and opening doors that even our most seasoned travelers had never stepped through before. From our Parisian welcome at Langosteria, Cheval Blanc to private moments inside Moët & Chandon’s Trianon, Michelin-starred lunches at Ruinart and Krug, to a black-tie evening and stay at Château de Saran featuring Dom Perignon, and an intimate stay and dinner at Hôtel du Marc featuring Veuve Clicquot, this journey was shaped by the maisons themselves. In addition to our experiences with the Maisons, our guests also spent a private last evening at Moët Hennessy's private apartment in Paris (not pictured below), and a private tour and shopping experience with Dior. It also offered guests an extraordinary and rare opportunity for cellar investment — a chance to build a personal Champagne collection directly at the source. This trip stands as a reflection of how far A Vine Affair has come, and a celebration of the deep relationships and access we’ve cultivated along the way.
