Fête du Champagne festival in Rembrandt Park

The three-day festival Fête du Champagne will serve more than 100 different types of champagne, crémant and wine by the glass. Starting at 4 euros per glass of bubbles, the very first champagne festival in the Netherlands promises to be a grand celebration. Famous wineries, from smaller wineries to large champagne houses, will present their liquid gold each in their own stylish way.

In addition to champagnes, there is also a special focus on crémants, a sparkling wine from an area other than Champagne. And in addition to sparkling wines, there are also normal wines to taste for which the festival has entered into an exclusive collaboration with Domaine de la Baume winery from the Languedoc region.

For organizers Sebastiaan van Erne and Ivar Beukeboom (known from the Amsterdam Wine Festival), a dream is coming true with Fête du Champagne.

"When we were driving through the Champagne region last year and came across the "Route du Champagne" sign, the idea arose. How fête would it be if we could organize a festival starring champagne in the Netherlands? The romantic image of the surroundings and the glasses of champagne consumed that day brought more inspiration. That same weekend, Fête du Champagne was born."

To make Fête du Champagne complete, all sorts of French elements have been added to the festival. From bocce ball to French chansons, grape stomping, champagne quizzes and sabring bottles of bubbles. The Rembrandt Park will also feature a veritable French food market with typical French delicacies and bistros serving French dishes. At the end of the day, the grounds will make way for a dance floor on which to dance into the wee hours of the morning.
