What do you get when you cross Jools Holland and a luxury train ride, with lashings of champagne? KRUG Encounters, the latest experiential event from the prestigious champagne house.

This year’s immersive event, coined Tracks on Tracks, invites guests on a luxury journey through the sweeping English countryside. Guests will depart on Friday 31 August from London Victoria on a private train, flourished with nostalgic opulence. The train will stop at three private platforms, greeted by live performances curated by Jools Holland. Music will be accompanied by food offerings from rising culinary star, Luke Robinson of Evelyn’s table in Soho, and, of course, copious champagne both on and off the train.

Each year, KRUG Encounters ties together music, fizz and feasting in effervescent harmony. Since launching in 2016, the immersive event has transformed both Osea island and the Grange Estate in Hampshire, drawing the likes of Oliver Cheshire, Cresdia Bonas and Nick Jones of The Clash.

This year’s champagne-fuelled soiree promises to be the best yet, filled with exquisite surprises.
