Why Champagne is Better at Altitude?

Why do Champagne, oysters and altitude go so well together? Champagne and oysters are a classic pairing because of their bright acidity, minerality, and umami richness—the crisp bubbles cut through the briny, creamy texture of oysters perfectly.

Add altitude to the mix, and the experience is even more special. At high elevations, the lighter air and cooler temperatures enhance the perceived freshness and effervescence of Champagne, making it taste even crisper. Plus, there’s something undeniably luxurious and surreal about enjoying oysters and Champagne above the clouds—pure Alpine indulgence!

I was blown away! Mixing my three favourite things together!

I just love being behind the bar! I ran bars for 15 years, and it’s still my happy place. Call me crazy, but if anyone needs an extra pair of hands for a night—give me a shout!
