More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Paris before sunrise in a Mercedes and the city blurs until vineyards appear, rows of pruned vines marching toward the Marne. By midmorning you arrive at the oldest Dom Pérignon cellars — low, cool, and dim — where the House Ambassador leads a small group through stone galleries that still hold the hush of long bottle ageing.

History
Hautvillers’ Abbey (founded in the 7th century) is where Dom Pérignon developed early sparkling techniques; Épernay grew as a merchant center in the 18th–19th centuries.
Conservation
Many Champagne producers practice sustainable viticulture and limit tractor passes to protect chalk soils—respect private vineyards and avoid picking grapes.
