Champagne concierge
Houses, chalk cellars, vineyards and great tables: AC PRIVATE - A List concierge composes your private champagne experiences in Reims, Épernay and across the vineyards, with a single point of contact and complete discretion.
The Champagne hillsides, houses and cellars have been UNESCO World Heritage listed since 2015, from the Saint-Nicaise hill in Reims to the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay. Reims is about 45 minutes from Paris-Est by TGV. We organise the day or the stay from end to end: choice of houses and formats, chauffeured transport, hotel, tables, and sourcing of the cuvées you wish to find at home.

Frequently asked questions
What does a champagne concierge do?
It composes and coordinates your experiences in Champagne: private house visits, cellar dinners, transport, hotel, tables and cuvée sourcing, with a single point of contact.
Can it be done as a day trip from Paris?
Yes. Reims is about 45 minutes from Paris-Est by TGV; we also arrange a door-to-door chauffeur. To enjoy Épernay and the vineyards, a night on site is advisable.
How far ahead should I book?
Allow four to eight weeks, more for harvest time and December. Formats and dates always depend on the houses.

We launch the search and review the provenance of each lot. No bottle is promised before its actual availability is confirmed.
