Champagne Goddess

Have you always wanted to effortlessly pop the top off a bottle of bubbly like you see in the movies? Or just as the Officers of Napoleon's Empire expertly did with their swords? Champagne Goddess — Susan Le Roux — offers you and your friends the chance to channel your inner knight while discovering the fascinating world of Champagne! Gather your nearest and dearest for a rich experience of passion, history, and of course, some delectable fine sparkling wine. Whether you're a Champagne aficionado like Susan or simply enjoy uncovering the subtle nuances, notes, and intricacies within a bottle — you're in for a real treat! 

"Susan's style is really conversational, friendly, and approachable. She didn't make anyone feel bad for mentioning they like Prosecco more than Champagne — she encouraged us to like what we like — I appreciated that." — Rob Gray, Anglicare Retirement Villages.

What you'll love about working with Champagne Goddess for your Sydney celebration:
