A three-course lunch with a champagne aperitif sits in the middle. Everything clusters within a 500-metre walk, so no transport needed—just your legs and your thirst.

What to expect
You'll move between three houses on foot, spending time at each one tasting their signature champagnes in small clusters. Expect cellars, production areas, and tasting rooms with brief commentary at each stop. Midway through, you'll sit down to a proper three-course meal with an aperitif, giving you breathing room before the final tastings. The pace is unhurried—this isn't a sprint. By day's end you'll have sampled seven glasses and absorbed how three major houses approach the same basic formula differently.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; you're covering ground on foot across Epernay. No private guide is provided, so you'll move as part of a small group. Public transport is nearby if needed. Eat a proper breakfast beforehand—seven glasses over seven hours needs ballast.
