Hit the Road From Paris
Your journey to the Champagne region begins with a seamless hotel pickup in Paris, approximately between 7 and 8 in the morning, so the tour can seamlessly start at 8 AM. Settle into the comfortable air-conditioned van, and after everyone in your group is on board, you’ll embark on a two-hour road trip to the Champagne region.
Along the way, listen as your driver/guide details the history and heritage of the Champagne region. Be sure to have your camera at the ready, too, as undulating vineyards and quaint villages become common sights during the drive. Traverse the iconic Cote des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne, which will only increase your excitement for the day ahead.
Immersive Cellar Tours and Tastings
Arriving in the Champagne region, you'll have the rare opportunity to step into the cellars of one of its most renowned champagne houses—be it Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, G.H. Mumm, Mercier, or another famous local excellence. The specific house you visit depends on availability, but rest assured; each offers a dive into true champagne royalty.
Then, under the guidance of an expert tour guide, you'll explore the cellars, learn about the production methods and history of the different varieties, and, most importantly, sample champagne. You'll also continue your tasting adventures to a cooperative or a family-owned estate to gain a deeper insight into champagne production.
Savor a 3-Course French Feast
After your morning of discovery and sipping fine champagnes, you'll surely have worked up an appetite–and what better way to satisfy it than with a 3-course French meal at a local restaurant? Dive into a delicious meal that showcases the best of regional specialties, paired with hand-picked champagne that elevates your experience even further. The restaurant, like the Champagne houses you'll visit, is chosen for its quality and charm.
Journey Back to Paris
As your delightful lunch wraps up and the last toast is shared, you'll begin the journey back to Paris. Relax in your comfortable van, reflecting on a day spent diving into Champagne's history, exploring renowned cellars, and sampling both sparkling vintages and regional cuisine. As the countryside turns into bustling city streets, you’ll feel enriched and content, ready for a drop-off at your hotel.

Great tour and tour guide. Will definitely use them again!! Thank you!
Day in champagne region
Beth Lowes
This day trip was fantastic- because our driver David was fabulous, as was the tour itself. We really loved the first house we visited, as it was informative and the champagne was excellent. Our lunch was excellent at the Continental, which is extra special because we are gluten free and usually we experience difficulty in this regard. The second champagne house was not as great as the first, but it was good. The tour guide at the second house showed us how to sabre open a bottle,which was cool. Personally, I didn’t care for it as much. It was a great day in the countryside of France, to see its beauty and colour. Rheims cathedral was beautiful! The van was clean and comfortable for the drive. David our driver was FABULOUS! You couldn’t ask for a better driver, polite, friendly, informative, welcoming….he made our experience that much better. He definitely was attentive to us, and providing extra help to another client with special needs. You are fortunate to have an employee such as him.
Excellent tour day with amazing guide!

We did our tour on Sep 9 and visited two champagne houses. Thomas, our driver, was patient, kind and helpful. Virginie, our guide, was fantastic! She made sure we had a great time, and worked patiently around a bubbly group of enthusiastic friends. She kept us on schedule without pushing, making sure we experienced and learned what the beautiful region had to offer. She took care of every detail so we could just enjoy, I highly recommend the tour guy and their team. Thank you Virginie, for a wonderful time!
