Sabrage and tasting on a cruise through the vineyards

Embark on a unique wine tourism experience, combining cruising, sandblasting and tasting in the heart of the Champagne region. Aboard the solar-powered House Boat Aÿ-Champagne, you’ll enjoy a gentle cruise along the Marne Valley, taking in the iconic wine-growing landscapes around Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Mutigny. The light, the hillsides and the calm of the water create the ideal atmosphere for a relaxing and convivial experience.

During this 2-hour cruise, you’ll discover the spectacular art of champagne sabrage alongside Paulina Sanders, ambassador of this emblematic tradition. She’ll show you the gestures, techniques and history behind this festive ritual. Participants who wish can take their turn, accompanied step by step, and experience the emotion of sabering their own bottle in an exceptional setting.

The experience continues with a champagne tasting, to be enjoyed at leisure while taking in the scenery. On board, you’ll find a variety of areas for your enjoyment: an outdoor solarium where you can admire the vineyards, a covered terrace where you can share a convivial moment, or an indoor lounge for added comfort. The 100% solar-powered boat guarantees silent, environmentally-friendly cruising.

Offered in small groups, this cruise encourages exchanges and creates a warm, privileged atmosphere. Reserve your place and let yourself be seduced by a complete experience, combining discovery, know-how and the Champagne art of living.
