If you subscribe to author Hester Browne’s theory about Champagne (namely that you should always keep a bottle of Champagne in the fridge for special occasions, with the special occasion sometimes being that you’ve got a bottle of Champagne in the fridge), then you’ve likely entertained the thought of taking a trip to the land of bubbly itself, Champagne, France. Perhaps you’ve even dreamed of spending your day sipping the good stuff from dawn ’til dusk, chowing down on Champagne-infused treats and falling into that giddy bliss that only Champagne can induce.
Well, as it turns out, you don’t actually have to hop on an international flight to experience one of the best sparkling-wine themed vacations. All you have to do is get yourself to The Ivy Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. That’s right—Baltimore.
