At the end of August, Champagne had entered its most vibrant season: the harvest. For several weeks, the region had come alive to the rhythm of grape picking, where tradition, savoir-faire and conviviality met. For visitors as well as for the Champagne Houses, this moment had been much more than a simple stage in winemaking: it had embodied the very essence of the terroir.
As every year, the harvest in Champagne had been distinguished by one rule: hand-picking only. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes had been carefully collected to preserve their quality. Villages across the region had been filled with the festive energy of grape pickers, porters and winemakers, combining hard work, joy and a heritage passed on from generation to generation.
Late August and early September had been an ideal moment to discover the vineyards and uncover the secrets of winemaking. Visitors had enjoyed guided tours of cellars, encounters with passionate winemakers and exclusive tastings. Reims, the capital of Champagne, had served as the starting point for these discoveries, offering a blend of cultural heritage, gastronomy and UNESCO-listed vineyard landscapes.
During this exceptional period, Chabé Reims had accompanied its clients in every detail of their journeys. With a fleet of premium vehicles, including electric models for a more sustainable approach, and the expertise of professional chauffeurs, travellers had discovered Champagne in total comfort and serenity.
From personalised transfers from Reims train stations or Vatry airport, to tailor-made visits to prestigious Champagne Houses, Chabé Reims had allowed its clients to experience the harvest from a refined and privileged perspective.
Beyond transport, the agency had also curated bespoke excursions with professional guides. Travellers had explored Champagne’s cultural and historical heritage, discovered picturesque villages, learned about biodynamic viticulture and met the winegrowers shaping the future of the region. Each itinerary had been designed as an authentic and elegant immersion, combining culture, terroir and the French art of living.
The harvest had also been the occasion for Chabé Reims to support major events: cuvée launches, private dinners and official visits. Thanks to seamless coordination, well-briefed chauffeurs and on-site supervision, every journey had been orchestrated with the utmost precision and discretion.
In Champagne, the harvest remains a celebration – an intense yet joyful season of work, tradition and togetherness.
