Explore the "Other France" with Argonne Cellars
Friends of Argonne™ Wine Club members are exclusively invited to join Argonne Cellars for unforgettably intimate trips to France. Each trip will offer unique examples of the “other” France—a France unavailable from a typical wine tour.
Needless to say, this is far from the typical pre-packaged Bordeaux River cruise.
Wine club members, please contact us for more information about our wine tours in France.
Exclusive Wine Tour in France Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
A visit to Champagne Henri Giraud
Visit with friends at Champagne Henri Giraud the second oldest Champagne House in France and join Argonne Cellars when we explore their vineyards and stay in the chateau.
Explore the Argonne Forest
Discover the very Forêt d'Argonne where the ancient trees for our barrels grow and enjoy a classic French “pique-nique” among these sacred trees, featuring Chateau Henri Giraud champagne, Argonne Cellars wine and charcuterie.
Champagne tasting
During our stay In Aÿ, we’ll also experience several other unique and compelling boutique champagne houses you’ve probably never heard of. If you’ve never been to this part of Champagne, as Lonely Planet says you probably should get to know it.
Meet the barrel maker
Enjoy an unforgettable visit with Jerome Viard, our celebrated barrel maker. If he decides we’re worthy, he may even put us to work. And in any case, if we pass muster, it’ll all be followed by a tasting of premier champagnes made from these very barrels.
Explore the Argonne Battlefield
Further east, under the guidance of the legendary battlefield historian, Jean-Paul De Vries, we’ll hike through the very fields and forests where our brave soldier fought in World War I. We’ll see the remnants of the battle scattered throughout the now bucolic French farmland and explore Jean-Paul’s nearby museum and its unique collection of thousands of found objects dating from the time of the battlefield in 1918.
