Discovering the village of Hautvillers: the birthplace of Champagne
Located about thirty minutes from Reims, Hautvillers is a must-visit destination for lovers of Champagne and beautiful scenery.
Perched on the hillside overlooking the Marne Valley, this character-filled village charms visitors with its heritage, flower-lined lanes, and authentic atmosphere.
Here, every stone seems to tell a chapter in the history of the world's most famous sparkling wine.

You cannot mention Hautvillers without talking about Dom Pérignon.
This 17th-century Benedictine monk lived in the village abbey and played a major role in perfecting Champagne production methods.
Today, the former abbey houses the Church of Saint-Sindulphe, where Dom Pérignon is laid to rest.
A visit allows you to explore this historic site while admiring its understated, elegant architecture—an essential stop for understanding the origins of Champagne.
The charm of Hautvillers can also be discovered by wandering through its peaceful lanes. Take the time to look up: around forty wrought-iron signs adorn the village facades.
Coopers, winemakers, blacksmiths, and artisans of days gone by are depicted in these unique works, which tell the story of local history and traditions.
This open-air stroll gives Hautvillers a unique and particularly endearing character.
One of Hautvillers' greatest assets is undoubtedly its prime location.
From the heights of the village, several viewpoints offer stunning vistas of the vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see across the
Marne Valley.
As the seasons change, the landscape shifts in color, offering a constant spectacle that captivates photographers and nature lovers alike.
With its many winegrowers' houses, Hautvillers is the perfect place to discover Champagne in all its authenticity.
Many families open their cellars to visitors, passionately sharing their expertise.
Some estates practice organic or biodynamic farming and offer tastings in a welcoming atmosphere often right among the vines.
It is a chance to discover exclusive vintages and talk directly with the people who have been shaping the Champagne landscape for generations.
