Fontette: Champagne Houses, Tastings and Countryside
Accommodation in Fontette
Fontette offers a range of options to help you plan your trip: visits to champagne houses, tastings and the Le plateau de Blu picnic area. When choosing your destination, it is worth looking at the different experiences on offer. A cellar tour by appointment, the sale of cuvées at a wine estate and a picnic spot with a view appeal to different travel interests.
Champagne Houses and Tastings
Champagne Charles Collin welcomes visitors to its cellars in Fontette and offers cellar tours. Tastings are also available; both activities require an appointment in advance. Plan accordingly and check the arrangements for visits before you arrive, as they may change. If you plan to include a cellar tour or tasting in your itinerary, make the necessary arrangements for each activity in advance.
Champagne Senez frères sells its cuvées at its wine estate in Fontette. This is a different option from a tour of the cellars: the focus here is on the sale of cuvées. Sales arrangements may also change, so check the current options before you arrive.
Champagne Cristian Senez offers free tastings to individual visitors. When planning your trip, you can compare this with what Charles Collin offers: tastings there require an appointment in advance, while tastings at Cristian Senez are free for individual visitors. Arrangements may change, so it is a good idea to check before your trip.
Picnic Area and Views
Le plateau de Blu offers a different experience from visits to the champagne houses. The picnic area lies within the boundaries of the communes of Noë-les-Mallets and Fontette. It has several tables and benches, a cadole and an orientation table. From there, you can enjoy views of a landscape of vineyards and woodland. If you are considering a picnic spot with a view for your trip, these features give you a clear idea of what to expect. Seating and scenery are the focus here, rather than a scheduled visit to a cellar.
Green Spaces and Flower Gardens
Champagne Lhuillier opens its green spaces and flower gardens to visitors. Access may be seasonal or subject to the provider’s rules. If you are considering a visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance. This will help you distinguish a visit to the grounds from a cellar appointment or a stop at the picnic area when planning your trip, without assuming the same conditions apply at every site.
Keep the different conditions in mind: cellar tours and tastings at Charles Collin require an appointment in advance; access to the grounds of Champagne Lhuillier may be seasonal or subject to the provider’s rules. A quick check before you arrive will help you plan these activities appropriately.
