Champagne Sabering Experience

Elevate your Whistler getaway with our signature Champagne Sabering Experience, a sophisticated adventure that combines historical tradition with modern luxury. This exclusive experience begins in an elegant private venue, where you'll be greeted with a welcome glass of premium champagne and introduced to the fascinating history of sabrage—the art of opening a champagne bottle with a ceremonial sword—dating back to the Napoleonic era.

Under the expert guidance of our master sommelier, you'll learn the precise technique and ceremonial aspects of this dramatic tradition. The sommelier will share captivating stories of how this practice became a symbol of celebration among French cavalry officers and nobility, adding cultural depth to your experience. Each participant will receive personal instruction, ensuring you master the perfect technique for this impressive skill.

After perfecting your form, you'll have the opportunity to perform your own sabering, experiencing the exhilaration of the "perfect pop" as the cork and collar separate cleanly from the bottle. Our professional photographer will capture this memorable moment, providing you with a keepsake of your achievement.

Following your successful sabering, you'll enjoy a curated champagne tasting featuring a selection of prestigious labels, each paired with artisanal canapés prepared by our executive chef. The experience concludes with a certificate of accomplishment and the option to purchase a personalized sabering sword as a lasting memento of this unique Whistler experience.
