Champagne: Major House and Local Producer Tour

Morning Experience:
Begin your journey with a comfortable drive from Paris to Reims in a premium vehicle. Visit either the prestigious Taittinger or Veuve Clicquot champagne house, where you'll discover historic chalk cellars. These ancient crayères, carved deep into limestone, create the perfect environment for aging champagne. Your expert guide demonstrates the meticulous champagne-making process, from grape selection to final aging. The visit concludes with a tasting of two distinctive champagnes from their prestigious collections.

Heritage & Dining Discoveries:
After your champagne experience, explore Reims' UNESCO World Heritage sites. At the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral, discover the Gothic masterpiece where French kings were crowned for centuries. The adjacent Palais de Tau houses an impressive collection of coronation artifacts and royal treasures. For lunch (not included), we can arrange reservations at your choice of prestigious venues: the three-starred L'Assiette Champenoise or the elegant Les Jardins des Crayeres.

Afternoon in Champagne:
Journey to Epernay to discover the famous Avenue de Champagne, lined with magnificent 19th-century mansions housing legendary champagne brands. The highlight of your afternoon is an exclusive visit to a boutique champagne producer. Here, meet the owner who will share their passion for champagne-making and invite you to taste their artisanal creations. This intimate experience offers insight into family-owned champagne production, contrasting with the morning's grand maison visit. As the day concludes, enjoy a scenic drive back to Paris.
