Located ten minutes from downtown Reims, the Crayères district is full of champagne cellars listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Vranken Pommery invites you to come and discover its magnificent estate and visit its prestigious cellars!
As you enter a huge hall, you will be amazed by the size of the Lightning that awaits you, on the left. Opposite, you will discover the many steps to descend (116 steps) to reach 30 meters underground, in real underground galleries, dug at the time by the Gallo-Romans.
Stroll through the 18 kilometer cellars and travel through the ages. Madame Pommery baptized each underground alley of the Domaine Pommery with the name of the towns with which she had dealt in business, to pay tribute to her clients from all over the world. Know that the cellars house no less than 25 million bottles, stored, including the oldest vintages of Domaine Pommery. These are carefully kept in the wine cellar, being extremely rare vintages. The Pommery champagne house, in Reims, puts on an annual exhibition of contemporary art in its chalk pits, L'Expérience Pommery.

Eating at the Pommery Refectory
The visit would not be completely complete without mentioning the Refectory. A new place, again, open to the public and which allows you to take a lunch break between visits to cellars, exhibitions or the Villa Demoiselle. It is indeed a restaurant, "which does not aim to create new flavors, but on the contrary to dive into culinary history". In the Refectory, we reinvent dishes that sometimes find their origin several centuries ago.
