What you can expect

  • Travel to the heart of Champagne of yesteryear at Domaine Bacchus

    Located in Reuil, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, Domaine Bacchus invites you to discover a unique place in Champagne: the miniature vineyard museum, conceived and designed by Lydie and Arnaud, independent winegrowers passionate about their craft and the history of Champagne.
    Upon arrival, you will begin the audio-guided tour, which is available in French and English, or with reading booklets available in German and Dutch.

    For about 20 minutes, you will explore a meticulously recreated Champagne village with more than 220 figurines. The scenes, dating from 1910 to 1940, bring to life the grape harvest, traditional crafts, local festivals and the customs of yesteryear. Each scene tells a chapter of local history and pays tribute to the men and women who have shaped the reputation of Champagne. This immersive experience allows you to understand the work of the winemaker, the complete cycle of wine, from the vine to the bottle, and the evolution of a terroir passed down from generation to generation.

    After this historical and immersive experience, you are invited to extend the tour with a tasting of a cuvée from Lydie and Arnaud's vineyard. This convivial moment, indoors or outdoors depending on the weather, allows you to savour the Champagne and ask any questions you may have about the winemaker's craft and the production of the cuvées.
    The tasting is adapted to your conversations and your pace, to offer a truly shared and authentic experience.

    This experience is ideal for families, groups of friends, history buffs, and anyone who wants to enjoy a unique journey through time and Champagne's wine-growing heritage. Immerse yourself in the spirit of Champagne of yesteryear and share an authentic moment with passionate winegrowers, in the heart of their estate and overlooking the beauty of the vineyards of the Vallée de la Marne.
