ABOUT STUDIO CHAMPAGNE
It's all about passion...
After a long career path in the fields of sustainability, strategic relationship management, communication and social media (LinkedIn profile), I started with Studio Champagne in 2016.
During a Masterclass of one of Champagne's highly esteemed champagne houses, I felt instantly and passionately in love with champagne and the Champagne region and I have been specializing in champagne ever since.
To gain more knowledge about wine and champagne, I studied (and tasted!) a lot :
-
2017: SDEN 3 (Dutch) certificat
-
2020: Champagne MOOC exam (completion with merit)
-
2020: Richard Juhlin's Champagne Masterclass
-
2024: Wine Scholar Guild Champagne Master Program , passed with highest honors
Of course, one never stops learning about champagne and Champagne (which is the best part)!
After having spent a lot of time getting to know more about the most festive sparkling wine in the world and sharing my passion for champagne on social media (Instagram @studiochampagne), I created an independent website, fully dedicated to champagne, for the Dutch market. I also organized different champagne tastings and workshops for small, exclusive groups.

In 2021, I moved to Reims, France, where I began working as an ambassador and guide at the prestigious Maison Ruinart. This role allowed me to gain invaluable insights into champagne, the region, and, most importantly, its people. It was a truly immersive experience that few are fortunate enough to encounter in their lifetime.
At the end of 2021, I decided to become an independent entrepreneur once again, drawing on my previous experience in the Netherlands. I noticed that many visitors to the Champagne region struggle to prepare for their stay. Often, they arrive without a plan for visiting champagne houses and producers, risking the chance to miss out on exceptional and unique experiences.
Many champagne houses and producers are not open to the general public, and unannounced visits or last-minute requests are often unwelcome. To elevate the experience for visitors, I envisioned a highly exclusive and personalized travel planner service that goes beyond the standard offerings. With my extensive background in luxury hospitality, I founded Studio Champagne, an independent Luxury Travel Planner dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences in Champagne.
My goal is to "create unique experiences for unique people." We offer bespoke programs designed for small groups, focusing on exclusive and unforgettable moments in Champagne. Each program is tailored to the client's wishes and developed in close collaboration with our Partners of Excellence. With our extensive knowledge of Champagne and the region, along with our broad experience, we ensure a unique program for every client.
Studio Champagne is not a travel agency or tour operator; we specialize in luxury travel planning and consultancy. Our clients remain fully in charge, and our advice is always tailored to their unique needs. We collaborate with trusted travel agencies in Champagne and beyond, capable of accommodating larger groups and offering all-inclusive packages at various levels.
