Celebrating the greatest champagne houses, we welcome you to join us in an exclusive champagne weekend on 1-3 March 2024 at Spicers Peak Lodge.
Hosted by Wine Communicator of the Year, Tyson Stelzer, the weekend is an immersion in three of his favourite champagne houses. The event will feature cuvées from Bollinger, Charles Heidsieck and Louis Roederer alongside highlights from Billecart-Salmon, Krug, Pierre Gimonnet and Taittinger. This intimate experience is reserved exclusively for just 26 guests.
