Domain Chandon

Top choice


Chandon is an example of mass wine tourism done well. The winery – a subsidiary of Moët & Chandon – produces sparkling wines and has a restaurant, lounge bar and cellar door complex with a stunning vineyard vista; the lounge terrace is particularly alluring. Three-hour wine classes ($125 per person) are held on Sundays. The free self-guided tours of the winery are interactive and informative.
