01 · In a sentence

Caveau Champagne de Castelnau in Reims.

Located in the heart of Reims's champagne district, Caveau Champagne de Castelnau offers couples direct access to 300+ years of winemaking heritage within a functional estate setting.

You'll host celebrations in authentic cellars and vineyard grounds where your guests can tour production facilities and taste vintages between ceremony and reception.

This working champagne house eliminates the need for separate venue rental and wine sourcing—both happen on-site.

One of many Champagne house's we have visited but probably one of the best incredible welcome fantastic 🍾 they really made my 60th birthday very special. Sante/ cheers Billy
