Veuve Clicquot Celebrates 250 Years on Board Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe

This Summer, Veuve Clicquot, the iconic champagne house, invites guests to celebrate 250 years of undisputed savoir-faire and cultural footprint with a legendary journey on board the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe.

Starting in Reims, the home of the Champagne house since its inception in 1772, the two-night journey follows the shipping route of the Champagne’s first bottles, ending with a night’s stay in Venice at Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice.
