Emirates Skywards is expanding its portfolio of
exclusive member experiences with a four-night journey through France in
partnership with Moët Hennessy. The programme, scheduled from October 7 to 10,
2026, combines private visits to renowned Champagne houses with gastronomy,
luxury accommodation and two days in Paris.
Skywards members can bid for the full-board experience
for themselves and one guest, with bidding starting at 275,000 Miles. Much of
the itinerary takes place at private residences and venues that are normally
accessible by invitation only.
Private access to Champagne houses and estates
The journey begins in Reims with a private tour of the
historic Veuve Clicquot cellars led by a Maison Ambassador. Dinner with paired
wines and an overnight stay follow at Hôtel du Marc, Veuve Clicquot’s private
residence.
Guests then visit the Moët & Chandon cellars
before having lunch at Residence Trianon, the Champagne house’s private estate
in Épernay.
Another part of the programme focuses on Dom Pérignon
and the village of Hautvillers, closely associated with the history of
Champagne. Guests will visit the Abbey of Hautvillers and surrounding vineyards
and take part in exclusive vintage tastings.
The day concludes with a gourmet pairing dinner and
overnight stay at Château de Saran, the historic private estate overlooking the
Moët Hennessy vineyards.
Two days of gastronomy and culture in Paris
For the final part of the journey, participants travel
to Paris for two nights in a luxury hotel.
The programme includes a private lunch at an LVMH
apartment and a Dom Pérignon pairing dinner at the two-Michelin-starred
Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse.
Guests will also visit the Fondation Louis Vuitton and
take a luxury sunset cruise along the Seine.
Partnership spans more than three decades
The experience builds on a relationship between
Emirates and Moët Hennessy that has lasted for more than 34 years. The two
companies cooperate on Champagne service in Emirates lounges and aboard the
airline’s flights.
Emirates says it is Dom Pérignon’s largest airline
partner worldwide and the only commercial airline officially serving Moët &
Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon on board.
Dom Pérignon is offered in First Class across the
Emirates network. Veuve Clicquot is served in Business Class on services to the
Americas, the UK and Europe, while Moët & Chandon is available in Business
Class on routes serving Africa, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Australasia.
Bidding starts at 275,000 Skywards Miles
Bidding opens on August 7 at 9 a.m. Gulf Standard Time
and will be released in stages. The auction closes at midnight on August 30.
Members must have sufficient Skywards Miles in their
accounts 24 hours before bidding closes. The winning package covers the member
and one guest.
The offer forms part of Skywards Exclusives, through
which Emirates provides loyalty programme members with access to travel, sport,
entertainment, cultural, culinary and luxury experiences. Emirates Skywards
currently has more than 39 million members.
