A week-long celebration of Champagne, La Fête du Champagne offers a mix of online and in-person events until November 13, 2021.
Having kicked off its program on Saturday with a virtual Grand Tasting and a pair of online seminars, La Fête du Champagne’s varied program of events dedicated to the great French sparkling wine region continues throughout this week.
Among the highlights is the newest addition to the program, the La Fête Immersive Experience, exclusive to American Express card members.
An audiovisual show, La Fête Immersive Experience takes the form of a “journey” showcasing “different aspects of Champagne,” the organizers said, with footage tracing the production of Champagne from harvest to disgorgement.
