Welcome to the home of Champagne sabrage!

The Confrérie du Sabre d’Or is a global society dedicated to the enjoyment of Champagne, and the art of sabrage—opening Champagne bottles with sabres.

Whether you’re a seasoned sabreur or someone who had no idea this was even possible, if you like Champagne, good food, and spending time with a diverse and welcoming group of people, we’d love to hear from you, so read on to learn more about us!

🇬🇧🇮🇪 This is the website for the Confrérie’s UK & Ireland Embassy, so you’re in the right place if you want to learn more about our presence and events around the British Isles; if you’d like to learn about our Embassies in other countries, click here.
