Emirates Skywards is offering members the chance to bid on a four-night itinerary through France’s Champagne region and Paris, in partnership with Moët Hennessy. Bidding opens on 7 August 2026 at 9am GST, with the experience running from 7 to 10 October 2026 for one member plus a guest.

The minimum bid is 275,000 Skywards Miles. Members must have sufficient miles in their account 24 hours before bidding closes at midnight on 30 August.

The trip is built around venues that are not publicly accessible. In Reims, guests begin with a private tour of the Veuve Clicquot cellars led by the Maison’s Ambassador, followed by a paired dinner and overnight stay at Hôtel du Marc, Veuve Clicquot’s invitation-only private residence. From there, the itinerary moves to Épernay for a visit to the Moët & Chandon cellars and a paired lunch at Residence Trianon, the estate’s private dining house.

The third leg covers the birthplace of Dom Pérignon, including the Abbey of Hautvillers, exclusive vintage tastings, and a gourmet dinner at Château de Saran, the historic LVMH estate overlooking the Moët Hennessy vineyards.

The final stretch takes members to Paris for an exclusive lunch at the private LVMH apartment, a Dom Pérignon paired dinner at the two Michelin-starred Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, a visit to the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and a sunset cruise on the Seine.

The partnership behind the experience spans more than 34 years. Emirates describes itself as Dom Pérignon’s largest global airline partner and says it is the only commercial airline to serve Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Pérignon onboard simultaneously. Dom Pérignon is offered in First Class across its network; Veuve Clicquot in Business Class on routes to the Americas, UK, and Europe; and Moët & Chandon in Business Class across Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Australasia.
