In the main role: the champagne

This May is the month of champagne on Viking Line ships, and there is a lot to choose from.

Our dear Master of Wine Essi Avellan is an amazing lady who probably knows more about champagne than about her own relatives. Now she has selected a new, super fine collection of champagnes to be enjoyed and bought on board.

During the bubbling weeks there are also two champagne menus by the chef Michael Björklund with the wine selection by Essi.

And the icing of the cake – if you are REALLY interested in champagne – is a special Viking Grace cruise on 9th May with food and joy, Essi Avellan giving a Master Class lectures about this fascinating subject. The guest of honour at festive dinner is Mister Clovis Taittinger from the famous champagne house.
