“I recently had the pleasure of attending a wine tasting at Chandon, and it exceeded all expectations. Our host was incredibly accommodating and impressively knowledgeable about the wines. The food pairing provided was simply amazing, elevating the tasting experience. The Atmosphere of the venue was both unique and beautiful, adding to the overall enjoyment. And of course, the sparkling wines themselves were exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable tasting experience.” -Garth S.

An Epicurean Adventure

The CHANDON Culinary Journey is a 3- or 5-course chef's pairing menu — CHANDON's most complete expression of food and wine.


Each course is crafted from the season's finest local ingredients and paired course by course by the CHANDON culinary and wine teams with a curated flight of CHANDON sparkling and still wines, including exceptional limited-vintage bottlings like the Étoile Tête de Cuvée, crafted only in exceptional growing years.

Enjoyed indoors in the Epicurean Lounge with panoramic views over the CHANDON Garden, the Culinary Journey is designed for food lovers, wine enthusiasts, milestone celebrations, and guests seeking CHANDON's most gastronomic and memorable experience. This is an all-inclusive, seated, guided pairing — the pinnacle of what CHANDON offers at the table. Unlike a traditional winery tasting, the Culinary Journey is a fully seated chef's tasting menu where every course is intentionally paired with CHANDON wines to showcase how food and wine elevate one another.

 

Best for: food lovers and wine enthusiasts seeking CHANDON's most complete gastronomic experience — ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, milestone celebrations, a special date night, or a foodie day out in Napa Valley.
