The experience typically lasts 60-90 minutes, though there's no strict time limit if you wish to linger longer. Sunset visits between 5-7 PM are particularly popular, offering excellent lighting for photography and the magical transition from day to night. Smart casual attire is recommended given the premium nature of the champagne experience.
