Discover Champagne Hampers

Choosing between Mumm, Moët and Veuve Clicquot

All three houses are here because they suit different gifts. G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge is the safe, bright choice when you do not know the recipient's taste well. Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut is the label people recognise instantly, which matters when the hamper is opened in front of a room. Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the fuller, more assertive pour, and the one to send when the moment is genuinely significant: a partnership signed, a thirtieth anniversary, a house finally settled.

What is packed around the bottle

Food that works with a cold glass and travels well. Chocolatier Belgian chocolate truffles and caramelised cashew brittle, Kangaroo Island olives, Kangaroo Island Produce Co honey popcorn, Valley Produce Company mini artisan crackers and the fig and almond fruit pyramid, Scottie Dog shortbread fingers. Larger hampers add Hunter's Gourmet black truffle potato chips or Borgo de Medici macarons. Chocolate travels in an insulated shipper box so it arrives set rather than soft.

Occasions that earn a champagne hamper

• Engagements, weddings and milestone wedding anniversaries
• A first home, a settlement, a promotion or a retirement
• A new baby, sent for the parents rather than the christening
• The top tier of a client list, with the rest of the list on something from the wider range
• A welcome gift waiting in a room, alongside our accommodation hampers

Getting it right on the day

Champagne wants three to four hours upright in the fridge, not twenty minutes in the freezer, which flattens the aromatics and risks the cork. If the hamper arrives on the morning of the event, tell the recipient in the gift card message so the bottle goes in early. Open it by holding the cork still and turning the bottle, and pour into a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute if you want to taste anything beyond the bubbles. Any truffles and macarons in the box are best left out of the fridge for half an hour before serving.

Champagne at Christmas

December is the one month where the timing matters more than the choice of house. Australia Post volumes climb through the month, so order earlier than feels necessary and use the ship-to-multiple-addresses option to clear a whole list in one go. Our Christmas hampers carry the same champagne houses in seasonal boxes.

Timing an order around a date

Orders placed before 12pm on a weekday are dispatched that day and tracked Australia-wide with Australia Post. We will not quote an arrival date by city, because transit belongs to the carrier and not to us. For anything dated, build a few days of margin in and watch the tracking rather than guessing. Shipping is free on any hamper over $100, and that threshold is assessed on each hamper individually, since every hamper is packed and sent as its own parcel.

Champagne hamper questions

Is it real champagne?

Yes. The bottle is G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge, Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut or Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, and the house is named on the product listing, so you know exactly what you are sending before you pay.

Can one order go to several different people?

It can. The checkout includes a ship-to-multiple-addresses option, so a client list or a family spread across three states is handled in one transaction instead of one order per recipient.

What if the recipient does not drink?

Send a non-alcoholic hamper instead. The same producers, the same box and ribbon, no bottle. It is also the sensible pick when the parcel is going to a workplace where alcohol is awkward.

Champagne or wine?

Champagne reads as celebration, wine reads as an evening in. If the occasion is a milestone, send champagne. If it is a thank-you, a housewarming or a long-overdue catch-up, a food and wine hamper lands better. For volume gifting across a team, corporate orders can mix both tiers on one list.
