The tiny hamlet of Oger is known for its grand cru fields, prize-winning flower gardens and this museum. Featuring colorful, often gaudy objects associated with 19th-century marriage traditions, highlights include a tableau of newlyweds in their nuptial bed – woken up early by family and friends bearing Champagne, chocolate and broad smiles. The collection was assembled by the parents of the owner of Champagne Henry de Vaugency (founded 1732), an eighth-generation Champagne grower. An explanatory sheet in English is available. The admission price includes a Champagne tasting.
Oger is on the Côte des Blancs Champagne Route on D10, 12km south of Épernay. There's no public transport so you'll need to come by car or bike.
