Overview

This guided bus day trip from Paris lasts about 10 to 12 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. Travel in an air-conditioned minivan to Épernay in the Champagne region. The day begins with a two-hour guided tour and tasting at one of the grand champagne houses such as Moët & Chandon, Mercier, Nicolas Feuillatte, Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, or another well-known producer, depending on availability. Next, walk along Épernay’s Avenue de Champagne, a prestigious street lined with grand mansions and champagne house headquarters, for about 15 minutes. Then visit a local or family-owned champagne producer for another two-hour tour and tasting. This stop includes a tasting of their exclusive champagnes and a history of their estate. Afterward, spend 30 minutes in the vineyards learning about the grape varieties, terroir, and factors that influence champagne production. A one-hour stop at a nearby elevated viewpoint offers wide views of the rolling vineyards and landscape around the region. Transfer to the city of Reims for a 30-minute visit to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. This Gothic cathedral played a key role in French history as the site where French kings were crowned, and Joan of Arc declared Charles VII king here. The tour concludes with a two-hour lunch at a local restaurant serving a three-course meal. Bottled water and tickets to all champagne houses are included. An experienced guide leads the trip and provides commentary throughout.
