About this tour
Spend a full day exploring Épernay and Reims in France's Champagne region, visiting prestigious champagne houses and tasting their signature offerings.

What to expect
Your driver collects you and handles all transport between sites. At each champagne house, official guides take over—they'll show you underground cellars, explain fermentation and ageing, then lead structured tastings. Expect to spend roughly 90 minutes per estate, sampling three to four expressions per visit. The pacing suits most fitness levels, though there are stairs and some standing involved. You'll have free time to explore town centres or grab lunch independently. Travel time between Épernay and Reims accounts for a chunk of the day, so don't expect four separate houses.
Good to know
