Led by a Master Sommelier and Maison V Founders.
Small 10-14 person group of wine enthusiasts.
The Rhone : 2 days
(Depart from Lyon)
We arrive in Tain-l'Hermitage at the discreet Hotel de la Villeon then on to a private experience of Chapoutier's cellars and wines. As the evening approaches, we head out for the first Provenance Session - River Cruise Edition on the Rhône for an aperitif cruise at sunset where we are guided through–exceptional glass by glass–the stories of Hermitage set against its iconic landscapes. The next day, Hermitage Hill becomes your viewpoint as we experience the landscape before a Relais & Chateaux lunch followed by an exclusive tasting at Guigal and a dinner on the riverbank.
Burgundy : 2 days
Our travel takes us north along the Route des Grands Crus to an early afternoon exploring the city of Beaune and then on to one of the region’s most anticipated chic luxury properties—Château La Commaraine. That evening, you’re invited to a Provenance Session - The Maison Edition dinner at an exclusive intimate private property exploring bottles from an exceptional private Wine Library paired with a curated menu of seasonal regional cuisine. The next day is one to savour the hospitality of La Commaraine and the wines of Burgundy with vineyard-side tastings in Corton-Charlemagne and Vosne-Romanée.
Champagne : 2 Days
Arriving in Champagne, Leclerc Briant welcomes us with a champagne-in-hand tasting exploring their ‘maison’ and a bistronomique champagne pairing lunch. The Royal Champagne Hotel and Spa will be a centrepiece of the two night stay where design, vines and spa converge against the iconic landscapes of the region. On our final full day, stories of Champagne unfold with a grower champagne house juxtaposed with some of the most iconic properties in the world; lunch at Domaine Les Crayeres and the final Provenance Session - the Crayères Edition with a wondrous champagne dinner set in Ruinart’s chalk cellars. The experience concludes the following morning with a departure toast that nods to the moments and landscapes of the past week.
