Épernay is the capital of Champagne.

“The Capital of Champagne” – the alluring, airy town of Épernay in the center of the Champagne province gives its guests a stunning opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the intricate process of creating the finest sparkling wines, learn the history of the world-famous Champagne Houses and find themselves at a compulsory tasting of the exquisite beverage. The main attraction of Epernay is not the historic districts of the city or even the central Avenue de Champagne, surrounded by chic Renaissance mansions owned by the richest champagne producers. A tour of Épernay from the tour company Metropol Voyage is worth booking for the amazing underground world of the city – under the ancient streets in limestone deposits laid more than 100 kilometers of underground galleries, and all of them are filled with the best varieties of aged champagnes! Mercier and Moët et Chandon, De Castellane and G. H. Mumm – the most famous brands of sparkling wines offer tourists amazing excursions to the ancient cellars, where each visitor can get acquainted with the stages of painstaking creation of the magnificent “nectar of the gods” and learn why the price for a bottle of really high-quality champagne from a producer with a worldwide reputation simply cannot be small.
