Visits to the House
De Venoge
Be our guests.
On the Avenue de Champagne, a UNESCO World Heritage site, one house has always kept its secrets. Since 1837, the De Venoge mansion has stayed out of sight: it is the most discreet house on the avenue. Today it opens its doors, by reservation only, to a few guests.
Our experiences
01
Princes
A first invitation into the intimacy of the House. The salons, the English garden, then the Vinothèque and its nearly 40,000 old bottles. In the glass, two faces of Princes: the Blanc de Blancs, all finesse, and the Blanc de Noirs, generous and structured.

02
Louis XV
A private visit in a small group, centred on Louis XV, the House’s prestige cuvée, a tribute to the king whose 1728 edict allowed champagne to travel in bottles. At the heart of the Vinothèque, followed by a tasting of Louis XV Brut and Rosé.

1837
Our most confidential experience, a tribute to the year the House was founded. Welcomed in a private salon like guests of the family. A tasting of two old vintages from the Vinothèque, which change at every visit.

Nighttime Visit
A private house as night falls: chandeliers lit, plays of light, English gardens. A rare privilege, by candlelight, at the heart of the house, with La Flamme de Venoge 2018, a vintage inspired by the Gruber stained glass illuminating the grand staircase, and Princes Tour Eiffel, created for the Eiffel Tower’s 130th anniversary.

The house
Its treasure is not measured in kilometres, but in bottles. The De Venoge Vinothèque holds nearly 40,000 old bottles, one of the largest collections in Champagne: the living memory of the House, long kept for the family and its close friends. Moulded salons, a wood-panelled dining room, a staircase bathed in light from the listed Gruber stained-glass window: stepping inside means discovering a place closed to the public, one that very few have had the privilege to see.
