Stevenage Members Champagne Lunch
"I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am.”
So said Madame Lily Bollinger, a sentiment many here agree with.
Join us as we explore the versatility of this wonderful region.
Guided by your friendly Tastings Team, you will be guided through a four-course lunch accompanied by a range of Champagnes, gaining insight into this wonderful region and seeing first-hand what a versatile and food friendly pairing partner Champagne can be.
