You'd think a winery as big as Chandon would lose its identity or level of service but each time we've been to Chandon it's been better than the last. They really offer the full experience you could want a winery from beautiful grounds to ease of getting to as well as a wide range of wines in the tasting bar.

Club members (which we aren't yet) get to sit out on the verandah and sip all sorts of sparkling wines.

But the Michelin-star restaurant, Etoile is probably the best kept secret. Their chef was on Food & Wine's "Best New Chefs-People's Choice" list for 2011.

Chandon is owned by Moet & Chandon, makers of Dom Perignon. What more could you ask for?
