Description

Begin with hotel pickup in central Paris, then travel by air-conditioned minivan to the Champagne region. Fresh croissants are served while your guide shares insights about Champagne, its history, and regional traditions.

Start your visit at a renowned Champagne house such as Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Mercier, Pommery, Lanson, or Nicolas Feuillatte. Explore the cellars, learn about Champagne production, and sample your first tasting.

Next, enjoy a scenic drive through vineyards while your guide leads a tasting experience among the vines, discussing terroir and winemaking techniques specific to the area.

Lunch is served at either a family-run Champagne estate or a quality local restaurant. Pair multiple styles of Champagne—including Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, Rosé, or when available, ratafia—with traditional French cuisine.

In the afternoon, visit a second producer, either a family estate or cooperative, to discover a contrasting Champagne production approach. This visit concludes with another tasting.
