The red velvet and gilded detail of the Reims Opera created a distinctive setting for the evening of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne. The programme was elegant, yet the warmth of the community and the many new encounters left the strongest memory.

A celebration of community

Carefully selected champagnes and food pairings gave the evening its rhythm, but conversation created its true substance. Long-standing and new members, producers and friends of Champagne met in one celebratory space.

  • Champagnes and refined food pairings
  • Encounters with the Ordre’s international community
That evening, Champagne was present not only in the glass, but in the language of community.

Among the house visits, this gala offered a different kind of experience: it revealed the cultural and human network that connects the region’s stories.
