Ruinart experiences by AC PRIVATE - A List conciergeChalk-cellar dinners, Petit R, Instant d’Exception, Le Bar
Nearly 300 years of history, chalk cellars listed as UNESCO World Heritage and a seasonal table: AC PRIVATE - A List concierge composes your private experience at Maison Ruinart in Reims, from the first step to the last glass.
The oldest champagne house, Ruinart welcomes guests at 4 rue des Crayères in Reims. Its chalk cellars, dug nearly 40 metres underground, are UNESCO World Heritage listed. Each format combines a visit, a unique menu usually served blind, seasonal and crafted with local producers, and a food and champagne pairing commented by a House ambassador.
AC PRIVATE - A List concierge orchestrates everything: choice of format, menus shared a few weeks ahead, all allergies catered for, artistic performance, chauffeur from Paris, hotel in Reims and an extended stay in Champagne. An experience composed by AC PRIVATE, subject to the House’s availability; Ruinart is a trademark of its owner.
