This is our most requested masterclass, blending history, tasting, and storytelling.
Icons and Innovators of Champagne

From Madame Clicquot’s bold branding to Louise Pommery’s pioneering dry style, and the master blenders behind today’s top houses—this session celebrates creativity, resilience, and innovation across generations.
Sens Inverse: A Champagne Dinner in Reverse

Each course is thoughtfully paired with dishes crafted by elite Melbourne chefs, ensuring a seamless harmony between food and fizz. From boutique producers to iconic houses, guests will taste a curated selection of brut, rosé, demi-sec, and blanc de blancs.
