Itinerary

Meet your personal driver and guide during morning pickup at your Reims hotel, and set off in a private vehicle with room for up to 8 passengers. Pass through quaint country villages and celebrated Grand Crus vineyards boasting recognizable names like Gosset, Bollinger, and Deutz on the way to the Reims Cathedral. Tour the UNESCO World Heritage Site with your guide, learning the nearly thousand-year history of the church where a succession of French kings were crowned.

Take a break midday to savor a lunch of regional cuisine (own expense). A gourmet champagne tasting lunch can also be arranged for an additional fee.

In the afternoon, stop in the lovely village of Hautvillers, best known as the hometown of Dom Perignon, a 17th-century Benedictine monk and pioneering vintner. Visit his tomb at the town abbey before making your way to a nearby family estate, where more than 4,000 members help pass down winemaking traditions through the generations. Raise a glass to your memorable day with a Champagne tasting in the heart of the world’s most famous wine region.

The tour concludes with drop-off back at your hotel in the late afternoon.

Brilliant day in Champagne

Liz_K, Dec 2023

We had a fantastic day in the Champagne area with Rademus, our very knowledgeable guide. Our lunch at the family run champagne house of Julien Chopin was a highlight. We ate in the cave and had wonderful food cooked by Juliette. The ratafia was delicious!!! We learnt so much about the area, the Champagne houses, vintage and the actual champagne. Highly recommend!

Best champagne tour!

Wonderful champagne region tour! Pierre was a great guide. A local from Reims, he provided great insight to the region, and took us to not only the well known houses but some smaller family makers who had wonderful champagnes. I have been on one of these trips before and Pierre made this one the best. Would HIGHLY recommend taking the train to the region if you are staying in Paris. This was a much better way to get there than driving. The cathedral of Notre Dame of Reims is worth a visit if you are there.

Private champagne tour

Our guide Pierre was delightful and attentive. He enhanced our wonderful champagne experience. The champagne Roger Consant Lemaire tasting was very welcoming and informative and the champagne was the best we had ever experienced. The lunch at the Le Clos Corbier was delicious and the perfect venue for enjoying the experience. Notre Dame cathedral was awesome and beyond words. A little weary by the time of the Veuve Cliquot tour, but it was definitely worth the time. We all had the best experience. Thank you

Brett_L, Jul 2021

We absolutely loved our tour in Reims. Our tour guide Raphael was fantastic. He was hilarious and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much about champagne, the region and the history of the area. After visiting Veuve, he took us to two smaller producers. Didier Hebert included lunch, which was phenomenal. We definitely plan to come back for a longer stay and do more tours with Raphael!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Don't waste anymore time we will be happy to have you back with us anywhere in France ! Best Regards, Arthur
