28 -29 July 2018 sees the Champagne Route in festive mode – Route du Champagne en Fête.

Established a few years ago and focusing on different wine villages each year, this provides an opportunity for winemakers to show off their produce.

Armed with a Champagne flute (and preferably a sober driver) this graants you access to numerous caves open along the route which is in  the lesser known region of the Côte des Bar in the south of the Champagne region, around the town of Bar-sur-Aube (10 Aube, Grand Est)
