Spring may be the most beautiful season to discover \u00c9pernay. The vines awaken, the first buds appear on the hillsides, the light becomes soft and golden. Terraces reopen, villages come alive, and there’s a particular energy in the air that announces the fine weather ahead. It’s the ideal time for a stay in tune with the rhythm of Champagne’s nature. <\/strong><\/p>\n This short film festival takes over the villages around \u00c9pernay for three days of screenings, director meet-and-greets and discussions. A wonderful way to discover independent cinema in an intimate and warm setting. <\/p>\n Le Millesium’s programme is particularly rich in March 2026: Rock Symphony Orchestra on the 7th, The World of Queen on the 21st, Dany Boon on the 22nd and Ibrahim Maalouf on the 28th. Plenty of variety. <\/p>\n The charming village of Hautvillers welcomes comic book authors for a weekend of signings, workshops and meet-and-greets. A perfect family outing in the birthplace of Champagne. <\/p>\n This children’s festival offers theatre, storytelling, creative workshops and heritage discovery at the Champagne Wine Museum. A programme designed to delight children while introducing them to the local heritage. <\/p>\n Around the village of Grauves, this guided walk combines a ramble through the vines with tastings of local Champagnes. A friendly and active experience, perfect for the fine days of May. <\/p>\n The Champagne Wine Museum opens its doors at night for a special evening: guided tours, concerts and a champagne bar. Free entry. <\/p>\n The 7th edition of this land art festival fills the vineyards with contemporary artworks set in nature. The trail is free to access and continues until September. A unique artistic walk among the vines. <\/p>\n The Whitsun weekend is the perfect occasion to meet winemakers, taste their cuv\u00e9es and share a convivial moment in the vineyards. Several estates around Monthelon and across Champagne open their doors. <\/p>\n Spring is the dream season for walking the vineyard trails. The vines are budding, the landscapes turn a tender green, and the light is ideal for photography. Hautvillers, 6 km from \u00c9pernay, is particularly <\/p>\n Climbing Mont Bernon is a springtime pleasure. From the summit, the view over the emerging vineyards is spectacular. The mild temperatures make the walk enjoyable without the summer heat. <\/p>\n Spring is the ideal time to visit the cellars: the underground temperature of 10\u00b0C is pleasant by contrast, queues are shorter than in summer and the Houses are available for personalised visits. It’s the time to enjoy both the great Houses and the smaller winemakers. <\/p>\n Every last Friday of the month, the Halle Saint-Thibault hosts tastings of local Champagnes, regional produce and live music from 6 to 8 PM. A friendly and gourmet monthly gathering. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring may be the most beautiful season to discover \u00c9pernay.
