This Champagne tasting experience takes place in the heart of central London and gets a night out in the capital off to a sparkling start, tasting up to eight different Champagnes. So if you don't know your Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon from your Mercier and Laurent Perrier, you soon will on these deliciously bubbly Champagne tasting experiences.
During this two hour Champagne tasting session, your expert taster will explain how grapes such as Chardonnay are double-fermented to create sparkling Champagne under the protection of the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Controlee). Champagne can only be produced in the Champagne region of northern France, with many Champagne producers nestled around Epernay and Reims.
They may all be labelled Champagne, but each brand is different and tastes vary from brut, to demi-sec and doux, so this tasting session means you can decide which Champagne you like best, as you study the colour and bubbles before quaffing from your Champagne tasting flute glass.
