WHAT IS SABRAGE ?

Sabrage is the technique of opening a bottle of sparkling wine with a cavalry saber instead of the usual cork-popping method.

Discover the history of sabrage and learn how to open a bottle of Champagne with a saber during an interactive workshop, followed by a tasting.

WHY TRY SABRAGE ?

Have you ever opened Champagne with a saber? It is thrilling, elegant and a true embodiment of Champagne culture! For some, it is exhilarating, for others, a bit intimidating. And for those who succeed on their first try. Pure joy!

After two years of teaching clients the perfect technique of sabrage, I can confidently say it is always an unforgettable, adrenaline-packed experience.

Whether you are celebrating a milestone or just soaking in the magic of Champagne, sabrage is a must-try activity when visiting the region!
