Les Relais du Goût 2025: Reims' wealth of gastronomic and viticultural treasures in the spotlight

After a promising first edition in 2024, Les Relais du Goût returns to Reims with an even more ambitious program. This year's event is part of the celebrations marking the tenth anniversary of the inclusion of the Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne in UNESCO's World Heritage List. The gourmet itinerary invites Rémois and new visitors to enjoy a moment of experience, sensory discovery and showcasing of the Champagne terroir.

Five highlights to set the table in majesty

The event is built around five exceptional gastronomic moments. Among them, the spectacular Dinner in the Sky®, where 22 guests take to the skies to enjoy a food-and-champagne pairing 50 metres above the ground, under the guidance of chef Philippe Mille(Arbane, 3 toques). Another not-to-be-missed event is the Marché des Producteurs at Domaine Les Crayères, orchestrated by Christophe Moret, where some forty local artisans showcase the richness of Champagne's terroir in a festive, gourmet atmosphere.

Gastronomy and champagne in unison

The great Champagne houses open their doors for unique experiences: gastronomic dinners at Ruinart, sonorous lunches at Jacquart, global brunches at Trésors de Champagne... Each house rivals the others in creativity to bring its cuvées into dialogue with the talents of guest chefs. New for 2025, the mayonnaise egg championship at Charles Heidsieck promises a moment both offbeat and refined.

Activities still available this weekend

In addition to these major events, the whole city is getting in on the Relais spirit, to help people discover Reims in a different way. While some of the flagship activities have fallen victim to their own success, there are plenty of nuggets to discover all weekend long:

• Cheese and champagne pairings at Maison Charles de Cazanove, Mumm or Marie et Maxime
• Participatory workshop on the secrets of the macaron, led by Alistair Smith, Junior World Pastry Champion
• Yoga-Beer session to discover the practice during a festive moment
• Dinner under the stars at La Grande Georgette - Caserne Chanzy
• Wine village, culinary demonstrations and workshops opposite Porte de Mars
• A convivial opportunity to sample local specialities at Les Halles du Boulingrin...

All information and the full program are available on the Relais du Goût website.

A celebration of Champagne know-how

Created on the initiative of Reims Tourisme and the City of Reims, this festival aims to become a not-to-be-missed annual event. By showcasing local artisans, producers, chefs and winemakers, Les Relais du Goût celebrates not only the art of living in Reims, but also sustainable, festive and accessible gastronomy.
