Damery: Champagne, Culture and Nature

Damery brings together several distinct travel interests: Champagne tours with tastings, a named cultural landmark, a cycling route and a natural area. When looking for a holiday rental, it helps to decide first what you want to focus on. Would you like to learn more about winemaking, explore local history or include the Véloroute in your stay? This makes it easier to choose what to experience in Damery based on what matters to your trip.

Champagne and wine: tours with different focuses

At Champagne Daniel Caillez, the tour takes you through the wine cellars, cellar sieve, fermentation cellar and press. You’ll learn about winemaking, and the tour concludes with a tasting of Champagne made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The itinerary combines insights into several stages of the house’s operations with a specific tasting experience. For opening hours, contact the winery directly; this is helpful when planning your visit before you arrive.

Champagne Telmont offers a classic cellar tour with a Champagne tasting. One classic tour option includes a visit to the vineyard. For this vineyard option, it’s best to coordinate arrangements directly with the producer before you arrive. Private workshops on wine and viticulture are also available. They last a few hours or a full day and are not open activities that you can join spontaneously. The specified duration makes the workshop a separate item to plan for. A food and wine pairing featuring regional products offers an additional culinary focus. If you’re weighing up a tour, vineyard visit, workshop or pairing, you can match the type of experience you want with your own travel plans.

Culture and local history

Two dates give Damery’s history a specific context, but refer to different things. The Église Saint-Georges has been listed as a Monument historique since 15 December 1911. Champagne Telmont was founded in Damery in 1912. The first date refers to the church’s listing; the second to the founding of the house. Telmont has retained its family character and independence for four generations. If you’d like to include both heritage and Champagne history in your trip, you can consider them as separate ways to explore Damery.

Nature and cycling route

Les Pâtis de Damery is a natural area distinguished by its biological richness and the rarity of its wildlife and plant life. For travellers looking to add a natural highlight alongside wine and culture, these qualities offer a focus of their own. The Véloroute V52, which runs from Damery to Dormans, offers another perspective. It gives your trip a specific direction and a named destination. If cycling is a key part of your stay, you can take this route into account when planning.

Choose a holiday rental to suit your travel plans

When choosing a holiday rental in Damery, first consider which part of what’s on offer shapes your travel plans. The workshop has a clearly defined duration, ranging from a few hours to a full day; the V52 provides a cycling route connecting Damery and Dormans.
