Château de Sacy — Restaurant in Sacy

Château de Sacy is a nineteenth-century manor house on a hill in the middle of the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, about 20 minutes from Reims. From the terrace and the rooms you look straight out over the rolling vineyards of the Montagne de Reims. One of the nicest things here: the Nordic hot tubs outside, overlooking the vines, and yes, you're served a glass of champagne while you sit in the warm water. Inside there's a small spa with a sauna and two treatment rooms. If you want to explore the area, you can rent e-bikes to discover the hills and small producers nearby, or take a walk through the vineyards with a tasting along the way. The restaurant Les Vignes, on the first floor with views over the vineyards all around, serves local, seasonal cooking: think guinea fowl and foie gras, or rabbit rillettes. The wine list deliberately focuses not just on the big champagne houses but on smaller, lesser-known producers too, and the sommelier is happy to guide you. From the château you can walk to Damien-Buffet, a small producer within walking distance, and by car you're quickly at big names like Ruinart (the oldest champagne house in the region) and Taittinger.
