The Exclusive VIP Trip to the Champagne region in France was designed by The Luxury Network Germany ultimately for the top customers of its members last 2017. Due to the overwhelming success and the strictly limited number of participants of the event, the network hosted another exclusive trip to Champagne on the year 2018 where a group of like-minded connoisseurs and super-sports car owners came together in the heart of the Palatinate vineyards for a 3-day “VIP Pommery Experience.” The Luxury Network along with the event partners can always look back on that successful weekend event with the tremendous positive feedback from the participants.
