Frenchie Fest 2025: Champagne and Cremant

As part of our Frenchie Fest celebration—a month-long tribute to the wines, regions, and joie de vivre of France—we invite you to a sparkling evening dedicated to Champagne and Crémant. These beloved bubbles are cornerstones of French wine culture, and this class will take you on a journey through their history, traditions, and distinct regional styles. From the prestigious vineyards of Champagne to the charming Crémant-producing regions like Alsace and the Loire Valley, we’ll explore what makes each glass a celebration of French craftsmanship.

You’ll taste a curated lineup of both Champagne and Crémant, learning how production methods, grape varieties, and terroir influence flavor and texture. Along the way, we’ll decode labels, share pairing tips, and reveal why these wines deserve a place at both grand occasions and casual gatherings. Whether you're a Francophile, a bubble enthusiast, or simply curious, this sparkling soirée is the perfect way to toast to all things French.

This is a night not to be missed!
