Destination guide
Aÿ is compact enough for an unhurried day, yet it brings the landscape, the grapes and the wines together unusually well. Pressoria gives a clear introduction before you step into a working house.

A realistic day
Begin at Pressoria, have lunch in or around the village and book one tasting for the afternoon. Leave time to walk uphill and see how close the vineyards are to the streets.
A polished interactive museum covering soil, grapes and production.
Ayala and Bollinger offer very different experiences; both require checking current availability.
Walk above the village for a view across the Marne Valley.
Champagne houses
Aÿ-Champagne · Vallée de la Marne
Ayala is located in the centre of Aÿ and combines the organisation of an established house with the feel of a compact wine village. It pairs well with Pressoria or a walk through Aÿ.
Aÿ-Champagne · Vallée de la Marne
Bollinger is based in Aÿ and has gardens, cellars and historic vineyards. Visits are by appointment only, so advance planning is essential.
