Welcome your travellers into the most discreet house on the Avenue de Champagne.
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. Closed to the public, it opens its doors by reservation only, and for a few guests at a time.
We work with travel agencies, DMCs, hotel concierges and tour operators who wish to offer their clients a rare welcome, at 33 Avenue de Champagne in Épernay. This is not a tour one follows. It is a house in which one is received.
The treasure of the House is not measured in surface area, but in bottles. The Vinothèque, our cellar of old vintages, 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.
“A confidential welcome, for the travellers you entrust to us.”
The house
The most discreet house
Stepping inside means discovering a place closed to the public, one that very few have had the privilege to see: a nineteenth-century mansion.
From room to room, the eye rests on the listed Gruber stained-glass window, a Historic Monument, which bathes the great staircase in light, and on a reproduction of Jean-François de Troy’s Le Déjeuner d’huîtres. Then comes the Vinothèque: nearly 40,000 old bottles, long reserved for the family and its close friends.
It is this confidential character that we offer your clients: a house that opens only for them.
