Leeds’ only champagne and cocktail bar, Epernay, opened five years ago in the heart of the city centre at The Electric Press. While there’s only one of its kind in Leeds, that’s hardly a testament to its popularity. City-dwellers and passers-by alike are grateful for the little gem, and now that Epernay has its very own website, its customer base is on the rise.
But that’s not all Epernay is doing to spread the word about its comprehensive champagne collection; the bar has also launched champagne-tasting sessions to suit every event and individual.
Three packages are on offer: Intimate, Complete and Prestige Collections. Tasting sessions are great for a gathering of family and friends, even folks from the office, and along with giving you the perfect excuse to sip on some classy champagnes, you’ll learn a thing or two about how the stuff’s made. Epernay’s experts will walk even the most inexperienced champagne-drinker through blending and ageing techniques by allowing them to sample a diverse selection of tastes and styles. These comparative tasting experiences start at £25 a head – a small price to pay for sweet indulgence! For the wine connoisseurs among you (with considerably more money to burn), Epernay’s Prestige Collection will treat you to some of the best champagne of your life.
Alternatively, if you’re wanting to enjoy a high-quality vintage wine in the comfort of your own living room, you can shop online for the perfect champagne at www.epernaychampagne.co.uk. If all you need is one bottle, Epernay doesn’t mind the fuss – no minimum order is required when you buy online. On the other hand, if you need several bottles for a special occasion (or if you’re just an enthusiastic champagne drinker), Epernay offers free delivery for all orders over £120 and discounts on bottles bought in bulk.
Don’t worry if you find Epernay’s online selection overwhelming – the website is almost as helpful as its on-site staff in that it features video tutorials, advice on food and drink pairing and a search function to locate your champagne of choice through preference of size, vintage, price and sweetness.
With the launch of its website and champagne-tasting packages, Epernay is transforming otherwise ignorant inhabitants of Yorkshire and beyond into passionate and knowledgeable champagne aficionados. Celebrate this grand achievement by popping open (what else?) a little bubbly!
