This was a fabulous experience! Great communication with tour operator and Guide. Very nice ride to and from the Champagne region. We visited very different types of champagne makers, tasted many varieties and had a nice lunch. And a surprise treat from our guide. We were returned safely to our Paris Hotel. A beautiful day!

We had such a fantastic experience! Would hands down recommend to anyone. Definitely book this. TJ was an amazing guide! We came as part of a girls trip and it was such a perfect day trip from Paris. Loved getting to visit the houses and champagne tastings. Such a memorable experience - a highlight of our trip!

Itinerary

Your day trip starts with hotel pickup in Paris by minivan for the drive out of the city and into Champagne, the French wine region home to storied bubbly producers such as Moët & Chandon, your first stop. During the journey, listen to commentary from your guide covering the history of and interesting facts about the region.

When you arrive at Moët & Chandon, in the village of Epernay, enjoy a tour of the facilities to learn about the production process and see the Champagne cellars. Then cap off this experience with a guided tasting session. If Moët & Chandon is unavailable, visit another luxury house instead, such as G.H. Mumm or Veuve Clicquot.

Then stroll through Epernay and listen to commentary from your guide about the history of the region and other Champagne cellars in the region. Visit a small winery and learn about the production process before sampling a few varieties of their Champagne.

You also visit the village of Hautvillers, to hear the story about the monk who lived in a Benedictine abbey "created" the bubbly drink that has become so famous. Learn about the history of its namesake and the history of how Champagne was actually created.

Your tour ends with a 3-course lunch of local dishes such as foie gras, cheese, Reims ham with fruit, and Reims specialty pink cookies, paired with four types of Champagne.

At the conclusion of your time in the region, relax on the return drive to Paris for hotel drop-off.

Above and Beyond Experience with Alex

Epic champagne experience

Amazing experience and Alex was the best guide . He knows a lot about champagne. Highly recommend !!

Christie_H, Feb 2026

A really fun and educational day trip for my daughter and I. We went to two champagne houses and had 5 small glass tastings. Lunch was nice and in a small, quaint restaurant. Loved the door to service.

We learned so much about...

Charles_B, Dec 2025

We learned so much about champagne! This is better than we expected, very interesting and enjoyable. TJ is very knowledgeable and just a really nice guy. Our lunch was very good and such a fun experience. A truly perfect way to spend the day!

Great guide, not so good champagne tour

britorene, Dec 2025

Alex was a great guide very detailed, informative, and fun. So he gets 5 stars. However, the tour had only 2 visits to champagne houses: Taittenger and a smaller house because Moët was closed. There was a surprise by Alex but we much rather have a 3rd visit to another Champagne house since the drive was 2.5 hours one way. I would suggest to have lunch at a different restaurant as it took over 2 hours to go over lunch.

Perfect for Girls Trip from Paris

Madeline_M, Dec 2025

A beautiful experience with a small group

Thomas_H, Dec 2025

Tomer was an amazing guide. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel, saving us a walk or metro trip. We had a very comfortable van and 6 people total on our trip, 7 with the guide, Tomer. Tomer also personalized the trip for us, adding in extras like Don Perignon’s tomb, a tour inside Norte Dame Cathedral in Reims (which honestly may have been better than the one in Paris), and more. We had a delicious lunch that lasted about 90 minutes or so and gave us time to get to know each other and enjoy a 3 course menu. This wasn’t some thrown together sandwiches, but an actual restaurant. Tomer and the champagne house tour guides all did an amazing job explaining the history of champagne, how it’s made, how it’s regulated, and more.

Not what I thought

Jayme_C, Nov 2025

We did this in July. Too much driving. First champagne house didn’t know we were coming so nothing was set up. More driving. Then a very odd ultra fancy Lunch with no champagne. Tattinger and stop at vueve were nice but overall I don’t recommend this tour.

Phenomenal tour!

Kaylin_O, Nov 2025

Sebastian was PHENOMENAL! He took us all around the Champagne region and showed us breathtaking spots we didn't even know was on the itinerary! Veuve had a great tour that really explained the details of Champagne making. Then we went to a smaller vineyard where we had a decatant lunch and was met with open arms by the owners and family of the chateau. It was a highlight for sure! Lastly he took us to the top of the vineyards with breathtaking views! Luckily our weather was perfect for it! It was a great day!

Alex was a good driver...

Heather_J, Oct 2025

Alex was a good driver and treated us to his knowledge and his own tasting. The car was comfortable and views incredible.

All day Champagne tasting from Paris

Christopher_D, Oct 2025

We just got back from our day in the Champagne region and we had a great day! Alex was a very attentive guide and made sure we all had a wonderful experience! One couple in our group lost her purse during the day and Alex was doing his best to juggle helping her and keeping all the rest of us happy and taken care of! The day ended up being a little longer than expected but not by his fault at all! We appreciated his kindness and patience to her and his determination to keep the rest of us happy and having a good time! Taittinger house with the tour of their caves was very interesting and the champagne was delicious! Then we went to Veuve Cliquot (our favorite and we were so excited to have it added to our day!) for a quick stop to shop in the boutique and have a glass of champagne there (this was not part of the original plan but we all decided as a group to forego the cathedral to make this stop instead). Then on to a 2 Michelin star restaurant for lunch which was fantastic! After lunch we went to Moet and Chandon, again for a quick stop to shop and get a glass of champagne. On the way to our last stop Alex took us to a park that overlooked the beautiful vineyards for a tasting he had brought with him. The views were breathtaking! This is where the missing purse came into play but we were all on board to help locate it. After about an hour of calling the previous places and searching the park and the van, he took the couple with the missing purse to the police station and then drove the rest of us to the next tasting. (We missed the tour of this champagne house by we didn’t mind as we felt bad for the couple and for Alex.) We were a few hours off course but it didn’t take away from the day we had! Met some fun new people and had a blast! We would do it all again!

DHRUV_C, Sep 2025

TJ was amazing! He was super informative, took exceptional care of our whole group, made sure we were nicely buzzed during the trip, and regaled us with amazing stories about the region/ the champagne making process and his own life - loved it!

Exelent! Worth going to...

JULIO_Z, Sep 2025

Excellent! Worth going to Moet & Chandon. Beautiful views and delicious lunch. Tomer our your guide was excellent.

Worth the cost

Susan_L, Aug 2025

It was awesome! Alex was a great tour guide!! Learned to saber a champaign bottle. Great music on the ride and the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Great all around experience. Definitely recommend.

Champagne Tour

Cecilia_G, Aug 2025

The beauty of the tour was having a designated driver! The driver, Sebastian, was quite informative before, during, and after each tasting. During the travel to the champagne region, he had a question and answer game for us. That game made the time fly. Sebastian was diligent in his duties, making sure we were on time for each tasting, no one got lost, and setting up the glasses for the tasting when necessary. We had a fun group too, with plenty of laughter. I will recommend this tour to friends and family coming to Paris.

A Champagne Day Of Fun!

NakiPete, Jul 2025

A fabulous day out in the countryside of France after all the bustle of Paris. The champagne houses we visited were all different and thoroughly enjoyable. The coach was comfortable. Loved our stop, overlooking the vineyards where we had a fabulous al fresco tasting and champagne bottle opening lesson - outstanding!! The only negative was the length of time for pick up and drop offs at each hotel - really would suggest a couple of more central meeting points for people to get to rather than braving the Paris traffic. The lunch was delicious but would have liked to have been in a champagne winery location with a glass of bubbles as opposed to buying our own drinks in a local restaurant. However, overall a great day out and recommend.

Best guide for Champage region!

Diane_N, Jun 2025

Max the driver and guide was excellent! One of the best guides I’ve ever experienced! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, flexible went out of his way to show us extra places!! Courteous and always available! He was outstanding!

The tourist starts early,...

Barrielynn_W, May 2025

The tourist starts early, so be prepared! To speak to our individual tour we had a good group! There was only seven of us in the group which made it fun and we were able to learn a lot about each other through the day while sipping on and learning about the various grapes of champagne of France! Our tour guide Sebastian was extremely accommodating if something wasn’t on a route for a stop in. he made sure we did and still kept us within the time of getting to the places planned.. I would recommend this tour however I would recommend during the week so you could actually see the protection happening but going on a weekend was still fabulous being able to ship champagne and join in the Parisian culture for the day!

Heavenly!

Anonymous, Apr 2025

The tour was outstanding and our guide Sebastian was excellent! We visited two champagne houses, sampled some delicious bubbly and also had a tasting overlooking a breathtaking view of the vineyards and village below. The lunch at a Michelin restaurant was delicious. These are just the highlights, and I can't stress enough how our guide Sebastian made it extra special!

Great experience seeing...

Christopher_B, Apr 2025

Great experience seeing the region, a smaller producer that walked us through the process, and a larger house that gave a different perspective. And some great Champagne to try along the way. Lunch was very good as well, and really enjoyed the stop to see Reims Cathedral, just spectacular.

Amazing!

Kerry_G, Apr 2025

This was a huge highlight during our week in Paris. Max was our guide and he was delightful. The day was perfectly planned including stops for the toilet and coffee, and short opportunities to stretch our legs and see some gorgeous landmarks. We visited two wineries as promised, a small one and a large one. We had ample tastings (I lost count!)

Wonderful trip! Enjoyed...

Must do “Champagne in a day” from Paris!

amymurphydowd, Sep 2024

Highly recommended incredible experience. My husband and I learned so much about the Champagne region and extremely complicated process. It was overwhelming in a great way! Excellent tour at large cooperative and at a second very small winery. Both tours given by highly knowledgeable guides with passion for subject matter. We had 7 full tastings of excellent champagne throughout the day and a lovely authentic lunch (high end service and menu). Travel by van allowed us to see many villages which was a benefit over taking the train on your own. Very easy pick up and drop off at our Airbnb. Our driver/guide provided in depth historical information along the way but was subtle and allowed for quiet time. A great judge of the audience. Rest stops to and from Champagne for restroom and coffee breaks were appreciated. Broke up the journey. The whole long day (12 hours +) was very much worth the money spent. Excellent value!!!

Great tour with Sebastian!

Julia_D, Sep 2024

Our tour with Sebastian was amazing! Sebastian was so knowledgeable about champagne and the region and we learned so much from him. He was also a great driver and very funny!

It was a great day!!

Donna_S, Aug 2024

This was a delightful tour and Tomer was a wonderful Guide. We thoroughly enjoyed each Champagne house we visited and our lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience

Suzanna_W, Jun 2024

Sebastian was very knowledgeable and kind. He is a very good driver! I recommend him again. My daughter and I enjoyed the experience very much

Amazing!

Alexandra_Z, May 2024

Tour is amazing! Great selection of tasting of champagne. Super great French food! Sabesan is the best! If I am in Paris the next time, I will come back for this tour.
